you could mangle the flags in the filename yourself:

append :2, unless a : is present already
append S for seen

move from new to cur filename =~ s!/new/!/cur/!

The flags following the "," _should_ be sorted, but Dovecot does not rely 
on it, IMHO.

Oh, websearch found: 
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-January/036297.html

Then there is

doveadm flags add -u user '\Seen' mailbox XYZ header message-id ABC

or something like that.
