New libdb is causing issues with Cyrus IMAP, so if you wait a few weeks, you
can benefit from the guinea pig work done by the upstream Cyrus IMAP users,
after all every Cyrus IMAP user is a Cyrus SASL user by force.

Note that the fact that it causes issues with Cyrus IMAP does *not* mean it
would cause the same with Cyrus SASL, as SASL is a really basic user of
libdb, while Cyrus IMAP is a middle user (and openldap is the advanced user
from he**).
