Thanks for the input, Kevin.  It's not so much the how to do it that's
got me boggled, it's the "what" and "where".  What variables need to be 
massaged and where the heck are they?  I know perl well enough to hack
at the php, and I've got some expert developers here who can help if
needed.  I've tried adding...

$conf['hooks']['username'] = true;

...to horde/imp/config/conf.php, and added this entry to
/horde/config/hooks.php:

if (!function_exists('_imp_hook_username'))
{
     function _imp_hook_username($userid)
     {
         if (strstr($userid, '%'))
         {
             $parts = explode('%', $userid);
             $userid = $parts[0]  . '@' . $parts[1];
             return $userid;
         } else {
             return $userid;
         }
     }
}

But it's just not working!  I added a hook for sam as well, in order
to get the prefs added to mysql correctly, and that one works like a
champ.

if (!function_exists('_sam_hook_username')) {
     function _sam_hook_username($horde_uid)
     {
         if (strstr($horde_uid, '%')) {
             $parts = explode('%', $horde_uid);
         $horde_uid = $parts[0]  . '@' . $parts[1];
         return $horde_uid;
         } else {
             return $horde_uid;
         }
     }
}

As you can see, it's basically the same code.  I've tried it using
both $userid and $horde_uid, but neither affects the login.  I can't
tell if this hook is being called at all, or if I just haven't tried the 
right username variable.  If I log in using "virtuser at virtdomain"
everything works as it should, but I want to enforce using a "%" 'cause
that's what they have to use when using their normal email clients and I
don't want to confuse my users any more than necessary.

I've also played with the the vinfo hook, but that doesn't give me what
I need.  It seems to want to use the same vdomain for everyone who logs
in, which is no good.  I just want users to log in using their normal
username, "vuser%vdomain", and have imp change that to "vuser at vdomain"
immediately after logging in.
