Thanks. I finally tested this and fixed various bugs: 
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/3c2e1879fdf6

There is still one difference between what the script expects and what Dovecot 
does:

x append inbox catenate (url ;invalid; url {5}

Dovecot replies with "+ OK" because it wants to read all the URLs into memory 
before parsing them, while catenate.pl expects an error message immediately. It 
doesn't look like this could be easily changed in Dovecot.
