Solution: additional directive in backends.local.php

$backends['sieve']['hordeauth'] = true;

If I understand correctly the *current* state of play (based on the  
sources, some admittedly probably outdated, that I've found while  
researching this), and based on what I've observed above, it appears  
that either the hordeauth param or a case-suitable entry in  
hooks.local.php is *required* or timsieved driver will do nothing at  
all.

Fair enough, perhaps mine is a corner case (seems a bit unlikely,  
mind) but this requirement, or at the very least the existence of the  
hordeauth parameter, should be documented in the header notes of  
backends.php. In my case it would have saved a couple of days of  
wild-goose-chasing at any rate.
