Thanks for testing this new version of shadow.

A lot of /etc/login.defs variables have been removed because they were
redundant with other settings from PAM.

In this case, you have to verify that the pam_env module is used in
/etc/pam.d/login, which should contain:
auth       required     pam_env.so

And configure /etc/security/pam_env.conf:
MAILDIR       DEFAULT=~/Maildir

(Note that $HOME is not available so you can't use ${HOME}/Maildir)

Can you try it and report here if it work?

Thanks again for reporting this issue,
