I figured out where my flawed assumption was. I was changing the value of
the "force ssl" configuration option, which is only used by bincimap-up;
the rest of the configuration options I was trying to twiddle were used
by bincimapd, on the other side of the checkpassword barrier. Since I was
using the wrong function call, none of those environment variables got
passed to bincimapd; the ones that were still working were the ones used
exclusively by bincimap-up.
