Well, these really aren't good and there's a good chance that cores won't help finding out the cause. The best way would be to run via valgrind:

 login_executable = /usr/bin/valgrind /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/
imap-login

I can try that.

I don't really have any good guesses as to why these could be happening,

but could you post your dovecot -n output? Maybe there are some less
common settings..

Didn't seem to have anything special. You could also try if the patch below changes anything. Although I haven't heard other people getting heap corruption in v1.1, so it shouldn't be that common problem..
