Ok, found the problem. In timsieved/actions.c we have:
  if (sieved_userisadmin) {
      strlcat(sieve_dir, "/global", size);
  }
  else {
      char hash = (char) dir_hash_c(user, config_fulldirhash);
      snprintf(sieve_dir+len, size-len, "/%c/%s", hash, user);
  }

imapd.conf has:
  admins: china

Removing myself from admins gets sieve working. But, why the above? It
would seem that Cyrus assumes users with administrative rights would
not be using sieve.
