[Dovecot] Namespace "hidden" option not working?

I either misunderstand the namespace hidden option, or else perhaps it's 
not working correctly in 1.0.5?


dovecot.conf

# default namespace
namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix =
  inbox = yes
  hidden = yes
}

# for backwards compatibility:
namespace private {
  separator = .
  prefix = INBOX.
  inbox = yes
}


Then login and test

s6jh LIST "" "*"
SND: <<< len(939) Comp_len(118) Time:0.137985
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Diary"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Archive"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent Items"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Subdir"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Junk E-mail"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Deleted Items"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Diary"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Archive"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent Items"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Subdir"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Junk E-mail"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Deleted Items"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX"


The idea was to support an old client using Courier like access whilst 
still letting new clients access using the normal process
