that.

it's explicitly documented that subfolders of INBOX will be flattened
into the Path hierarchy. there is little alternative to that: if your
INBOX is ~/Maildir, what is INBOX.foo supposed to be? ~/Maildir.foo?
do you really want that in your home dir?
now, if you place INBOX inside Path (by using the Inbox option) and
actually name it INBOX, the flattened INBOX subfolders will naturally
align name-wise, as the INBOX mapping is a null transformation. the
problems start if you map INBOX to a different name (say, Inb0x) - the
flattened INBOX.foo is not seen as a subfolder of INBOX (it's just a
string with no hierarchy), so you'd get ~/maildir/Inb0x and
~/maildir/INBOX.foo as folders.

i don't think it makes sense to spend time on making this work
differently - the semantics would be arbitrary. it's basically asking
the question "what does an imap server that does not understand
hierarchical mailboxes do with hierarchical mailboxes?" - "something".
