The metadata add some information to folders ( e.g " Contacts folder") , so I 
think dovecot don't have to interpret annotations, anyway I can ensure you 
it's work. The IMAP client will interpret data.

I compiled dovecot with metadata support for slackware, you can read on 
planetkolab my notes.  If I miss something, you can ask.
You probably will loose the chance to manage imap server from kolab-webadmin.
