I have dropbear v0.44test4 and it works fine for root. From the help info
printed out by dropbear I see this option....

   -w              Disallow root logins

which implies that root logins are allowed by default.

I have dropbear invoked by inetd and this is the /etc/inetd.conf entry...

ssh     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/dropbear      dropbear -i


Just to double check, you have put the the relevant public key into root's
 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys  file?
