You are right, that's why I didn't close this bug report.
The patches that fix this bug should be:
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/commit/25513e90387
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/commit/8096f6cd5bf
Unfortunately, backporting them is not trivial since they introduce
changes in the core logic of OfflineIMAP.
Right now, I am considering uploading an updated version in stable,
where the docs will mention that this feature should not be used, and
there will also be a warning message in case it is used. Another option
would be to completely disable this feature in stable (since it is
broken and doesn't work as expected), but this may break older setups
(and I would like to avoid this). What do you think?
