Using UTF8 in mailbox names is a rather serious mistake. I'd hate it if Debian distributed a Dovecot version for next several years with known broken IMAP behavior. It visibly breaks some IMAP clients and causes silent problems with others. The patches to fix these are pretty small:

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/a698fccd37c3
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/880af3c78df9
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/90270c054e1f

The first one (STATUS) being the most important, the second two much less so.

Ok I'm escalating this then. I'll ask if we can get 2.1.8 in or patch 2.1.7 as you've suggested. (A more likely outcome IMO.)
