Config parser bug?

Hello,

I recently upgraded my servers from Debian Bullseye to Trixie (2.3 -> 2.4).

I have a pretty basic config, though I use Maildir instead of Debian's 
default of mbox.

In the process of getting things working correctly for the new config 
format, I believe I have stumbled on a bug.

To make the inbox work correctly, I need the mail_inbox_path variable to 
be unset. This is because the default shipped 10-mail.conf file from 
Debian has:

   mail_driver = mbox
   mail_home = /home/%{user | username}
   mail_path = %{home}/mail
   mail_inbox_path = /var/mail/%{user}

So, I overrode the mail_driver and mail_path in my local.conf. From the 
documentation, it seems like I should be able to set:

   mail_inbox_path =

And that should clear it. Certainly, doveconf shows no mail_inbox_path 
variable set when that happens. However, no inbox! If I comment out 
mail_inbox_path from 10-mail.conf, doveconf output is identical, however 
the inbox works.

My workaround is to make it the same as mail_path:

   mail_inbox_path = ~/Maildir

However, I think the variable unsetting is buggy.

This is dovecot 2.4.1.
