The problem appears to be attributed to an 8-bit character in the header. The IMAP process gets in an infinite loop in rfc2047_encode_callback in rfc822/rfc2047.c. I suspect the problem is in libc as staticaly linking imapd to libc from OpenBSD 2.7 does not reveal the problem. The person to contact regarding this issue I believe would be the port maintainer.
