Thanks for your well-written bugreport. I will pass this upstream. I suspect that your suggestion on using inotify2 is inappropriate, as (if I understand things correctly) that would mean bypassing the IMAP protocol and require mail storage and web service being on same host: Use of inotify2 would, as I understand it, be an internal matter for Dovecot to use - and then use the IMAP protocol to signal need for the webmail client to wake up and fetch newly appeared content. But as said, I will forward both the issue and your ideas upstream.
