I am using dovecot as well, by default using SSL over port 993. My typical
imap client is Thunderbird 3.0.3. I just switched the config to starttls
over port 143. This worked just fine. The certificate for imap is another
one than the one I use for postfix. The are signed by the same CA however.

I'll see if I can create a key/crt pair that fails for you to test with.
