In behalf of my colleague Daniel I will give additional information.

Sorry, we have this problem here.

~user2/maildir/dovecot-acl-list:
1281351959 Drafts
1281352773 INBOX

~user2/maildir/Drafts/dovecot-acl: user=user1 ilrws
and
~user2/maildir/dovecot-acl:     user=user1 ilrws

Did I understand you right  "~user2/maildir" is the INBOX and so 
~user2/maildir/dovecot-acl holds the rights of other users to the INBOX?

user1:
1 list "" "*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Junk"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "AutoCleanSpam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user2"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user2/Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user2/INBOX"
1 OK List completed.

and
2 list "" "FremdeOrdner/%"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user2"
2 OK List completed.
3 list "" "FremdeOrdner/%/%"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user2/Drafts"
3 OK List completed.

At this point we are missing "FremdeOrdner/user2/INBOX".
Your list command are looking good. Where is the difference?

Yes. We started testing shared mailboxes with v1.x and it's from a 
former email.

. Are you

Currently we have
/usr/dovecot-2/sbin/dovecot -n
# 2.0.rc4: /usr/dovecot-2/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: SunOS 5.10 sun4v

first_valid_gid = 20
first_valid_uid = 20
listen = a.b.c.d
log_path = /var/log/dovecot
mail_location = 
maildir:~/maildir:INDEX=/addons/index/%u:CONTROL=~/control:LAYOUT=fs
mail_plugins = autocreate expire
mail_uid = sysdov
namespace {
   inbox = yes
   list = yes
   location =
   prefix =
   separator = /
   subscriptions = yes
   type = private
}
namespace {
   list = yes
   location = 
maildir:%%h/maildir:CONTROL=~/control/FremdeOrdner/%%u:LAYOUT=fs
   prefix = FremdeOrdner/%%u/
   separator = /
   subscriptions = no
   type = shared
}

...

Thanks for your hints concerning separated control directories.
