I still don't understand how are your folders organized on the IMAP server. The file names don't really have much to do with this, it depends on how is your server configured.

This is pretty worrying. The most likely reason for this loop that I see would be a loop in the file system on the IMAP server (symbolic links pointing to each other, for example) -- could this be the case?

You can "Browse subfolders" but don't answer "Yes" to the question if you want to add all of them. Then you may look at what does it see on your server.
