Ouch! I copied outdated information from my old post.
My current system _is_ CentOS 6.7 with dovecot 
dovecot-2.0.9-19.el6_7.2.x86_64

Sorry for the confusion. Still, the problems remain

The point is that I _don't know_ if more recent Dovecot version have the 
same problem or not. Moreover, as this is a production machine, I would 
like to leave a key package as Dovecot as near as possible to the 
shipping O.S.

Thanks.

centos 7.x is latest, so if you need help upgrade make a bug report to 
centos, not waste your time here since you choiced a precompiled problem, 
reporting here 7s helpfull if you use dovecot compiled with the latest 
version here, this migth be a unknown bug you then have found, but not if 
you use precompiled problems, then report to the maintainers of such software

Hi,
does it means that when you use before_sieve and after_sieve in your 
dovecot configuration the hard-linking part works?

I don't need help to upgrade to CentOS 7.x, but before going this route 
I would understand if this is how dovecot/pigenhole are expected to work 
(don't use hardlinks) or if I misconfigured something.

RedHat / CentOS are a very common base OS, so I wonder if I am the only 
one hitting this problem or no.
Thanks.
