Each created folder is supposed to have their own dovecot-shared file.
Having the dovecot-shared in here makes it used only for INBOX, nothing
else.

Also if you create new folders the dovecot-shared file isn't copied or
anything else. So you always have to create it manually for each shared
folder..

I don't think I'm going to change this behavior before writing proper
shared folder support, sometimes after v1.0.
