FWIW, I finally had some time to look deeper into this and found that
the culprit was the Dovecot FTS plugin I was using (fts-xapian).
It doesn't follow the IMAP RFC strictly and therefore can't/won't do
substring searches.
I'm now using another Xapian-based plugin called fts-flatcurve which
DTRT.
Thanks for the help, it's been fun investigating this problem.
