Looks like it was intended, to avoid users from accidentally removing
admin privileges from their own mailboxes. But there's already other
code in SETACL handling that tries to prevent the same thing, so that
should be enough.

v2.0 now allows removing admin right manually from dovecot-acl file:

I probably don't want to do the same change to v1.2, since it might
break someone's setup.. Maybe you could use global ACLs to remove the
admin right? If it's always the same mailbox name for every user.
