I notice this part:
"plugin is intended to be used only by binaries: lda lmtp (we're imap)"
So the question is if it is possible to run sieve server-side sieve
scripts on emails copied using IMAP.
Not directly. There is some standardization effort done to achieve
something like that:

But this is not implemented so far.
Suggestions are most welcome.
What you can do is run the Sieve filter in some (in)cron job (or by
means of some other trigger). For Dovecot v2.1 there is now a special
sieve-filter command line tool to perform the filtering on a folder.
However, it is not released yet.
For older Dovecot versions you can use this recipe to re-filter mail:
