Sun is using the /dev/fd driver trick mentioned in your first link. This does not mean that suid shell scripts are safe....a secure script is hard to write. But running a script under sudo is almost as dangerous. All sudo can add is to protect the script from the environment and a good programmer will do that anyway.

sieveshell
SIEVESHELL(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation SIEVESHELL(1)
NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]
sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.
The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.
OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user
The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm
The realm to attempt authentication in.
-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
