I never hit that specific issue while running current.
dovecot:\
:openfiles-cur=512:\
:openfiles-max=2048:\
:tc=daemon:
This is the recommended values for dovecot as stated
by /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/dovecot-2.2.18p0
Does dovecot start up properly if you set openfiles-max? That's the
only difference I see between your setup and dovecot seems to start
up fine with openfiles-cur=512 on my box (amd64 snapshot Jul 20).
