[Dovecot] INBOX of a shared namespace appears to be always subscribed

In dovecot 1.2.10 I run into the following problem: Our users are
entitled to share their personal mailboxes. This works. But if user A
shares any of its mailboxes with user B, then dovecot always reports
the INBOX of user A as subscribed by user B. No matter whether user B
really subscribed the INBOX of A, or whether user A permitted user B
the access to its INBOX. The problem is caused by the repeated call of
LSUB. Starting with the second call LSUB always shows INBOX as
subscribed.
To reproduce:
-> telnet imap.xx.yy 143
1 LOGIN user password
2 LSUB "" shared/* => shows shared/UserB/folderXX
3 LSUB "" shared/* => shows shared/UserB/INBOX
shared/UserB/folderXX
4 LSUB "" shared/* => shows shared/UserB/INBOX
shared/UserB/folderXX
