Sounds odd, almost like a case for virtual(8), although even virtual
users should have a $HOME.

home_mailbox is a path relative to $HOME, as you seem to have
discovered. Next time, postconf.5.html#home_mailbox might expedite
discovery.

Perhaps you want postconf.5.html#mail_spool_directory ? Note, for
local(8) delivery, this directory would probably need mode 1777. I
prefer maildirs under $HOME, personally.
See also local.8.html (prefix these all with your own html_directory,
or use the online copies at www.postfix.org.)
