By request, there is explicit code in UW imapd (dummy_scan() in dummy.c) to list INBOX, and not report \NoInferiors if the INBOX is in a dual-use format. But it's still not supported.
To clarify further, imapd used to report \NoInferiors for INBOX unconditionally, which had the effect of enforcing the "no children of INBOX" policy. But since the dual-use formats (mix, mx, and mh) don't actually prohibit the creation of children (*IF* you get the case right), some people who understaood the limitations reported that their clients crapped out when it got a \NoInferiors INBOX but then children.
So, what's there now is a compromise. I still urge people "don't go there, here be dragons"... ;-)
