I'm using procmail local delivery agent from Sendmail, with Cyrus IMAP,

user exists locally.

It's definitely not trying to su to the user because the way my mail is
set up, only the root user can deliver email, and mail is delivered ok to
users who also have a shell account by the same name.

You need to combine procmail with Cyrus' deliver program. Basically when you
make final delivery to a mailbox, instead of writing to the mailbox directly,
have procmail pipe the message to deliver with the argument that tells it
which user, and which specific folder owned by that user, it should deliver
to.
