The behavior was changed. If you look at 2.1.27's configure:
configdir='${plugindir}:${sysconfdir}/sasl2'
There's even a new option to configure:
--with-configdir=DIR set the directory where config files will
I believe sysconfdir was never intended to be "/etc/sasl2", just "/etc".
The config dir is intended to be "/etc/sasl2" (or /usr/local/etc/sasl2,
etc, depending on the prefix).
