Fixed for maildirfolder creation:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/70523f420d35

As for subscriptions and maildirsize .. well, those are more difficult
and I'm not sure if I should do such a change for v1.1.x releases
anymore since it would change the behavior.

dovecot-shared file is supposed to be a per-mailbox configuration file.
As a special case it's also copied to newly created mailboxes. But I'm
not sure if it should affect global files such as maildirsize and
subscriptions..
