This is a known bug in the 2.0.15-HIERSEP sort-of-proof-of-concept-release, briefly mentioned on the list a couple months ago, I think. The problem is triggered by being subscribed to a folder that doesn't exist (which actually doesn't contradict RFC recommended behavior, IIRC, but is unintuitive). Workaround: edit /var/imap/user/X/Xusername.sub and delete any folders that do not actually exist in your mailbox.
