Not sure if it will solve this problem, (not even sure what the problem 
is :) but specifying both -a and -u has solved some issues for me in the 
past:

sieveshell -a Alec -u Alec

They do different things though the default user authorization setting 
is supposed to be derived from the the authentication, (-a). I just 
remember that specifying both fixed some problem once upon a time!
