Forwarding for a friend, I'm not using lmtp myself:

Hi,

There appears to be a bug in de transport handlingcode with regards to
relaying to sockets with uppercase characters. All filenames are
apparantely lowercased, causing a miss on the socket file.

Entry in transport:
imap.lunytune.nl lmtp:unix:/var/opt/CMUcyrus/socket/lmtp

This causes postfix to log:
Sep 13 11:40:49 shell1 postfix/lmtp[896]: [ID 197553 mail.info] EC24A62C2: to=<edimap.lunytune.nl>, relay=none, delay=2219, status=deferred (connect to /var/opt/cmucyrus/socket/lmtp[/var/opt/cmucyrus/socket/lmtp]: No such file or directory)

Though I can understand lowercasing names in general (or taking care of
similar case for caching purposes), this should not be done for unix sockets.
It should be noted that if using a unix socket as mailbox_transport, uppercase
filenames do work.

(tested on pfix-2.0.15 and earlier versions)
