Now this is very funny. Today's IMAP pull with mbsync indicates that Gmail has changed its reported folder names'/labels' capitalization. Again. After everything was fine for one or two weeks. Error: channel gmail: slave [Gmail]/All Mail cannot be opened. Error: channel gmail: master [Gmail]/All mail cannot be opened. As I don't really need my Gmail anymore I'll just remove Gmail from my sync altogether. Personally, I find this inconsistency on Gmail's side highly annoying. Their IMAP implementation is garbage. What a waste of time.
