Thank you, it looks like this has fixed the problem.
This is a good example of very sad configuration error. My configuration 
was clearly illegal, and as such, pretty easily recognizable by 
software. Also it resulted in very annoying and hard to debug behaviour. 
What I'm trying to say is that in case like this, cyrus should have 
complained about illegal configuration and either refused to start or 
disabled duplicate entries.
Some kind of log entry like "Error: duplicate service name in cyrus.conf 
line X" or anything.
