You are correct, there was an INBOX listed in the subscriptions file, 
but no physical folder of any sort on disk; this showed up visually as 
INBOX.INBOX to ThunderBird. By removing the entry from subscriptions 
(and the associated client cache file) it of course was fixed; really no 
different than any other folder repairs.

Aha, OK wasn't aware. Something still changed between rc24 and rc25 in 
that showing this (misguided, inappropriate) INBOX now pops up. I'll 
just have to chock it up to Courier-IMAP having done the wrong thing, 
and Dovecot rc25 now doing the right thing. As you mentioned rc24 and 
below had issues, so maybe it should have been showing me this all along! :)

thx,
