Good news:  I got a core file from a segfault.  Bad news:  I'm using a
standard Debian package with no debugging symbols. Backtrace is below, but
it looks as though it's not going to be very useful.

I suppose that in order to get a useful backtrace, I have to compile my own
dovecot, or at least dovecot-auth, with debugging symbols?
..
#2  0x00007f06ac1f854f in calloc () from /lib/libc.so.6

The crash is in memory allocation, which means something had corrupted memory already. The only way to really solve this would be to run dovecot-auth via valgrind:

auth_executable = /usr/bin/valgrind /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/dovecot-auth

That slows things down of course.. What PAM plugins are you using? Those would be my first guess as to what's broken.
