imap_utf7_encode() function appears to regard any input strings as
encoded in iso-8859-1 just like utf8_encode(). And vice versa.
I'll be happy as a developer of php internals if you report such vagueness
at the bug database too.

As php's iconv extension is a mere wrapper of the iconv library and
imap utf-7 support is lacking in most iconv implementations,
it's generally better to use mb_convert_encoding() than iconv().
Try the following:
mb_convert_encoding("blahblah", "utf7-imap", "iso-8859-15");
