With mbox Dovecot wants to use '/' separator, so it's only maildir
that's problematic :)

Next version allows changing the hierarchy separator to anything you
want. Could be a good idea to use '/' with maildirs as well. I'm not
sure if I'd want to change the default though, might break some clients
which have cached the separator.
