[Dovecot] UTF-8 mailbox name STATUS response

STATUS in Dovecot 2.1.7 returns the UTF-8 decoded folder name in a
string literal:

. CREATE "INBOX.Euro &IKw-"
. OK Create completed.
. LIST "" "INBOX.Euro &IKw-"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Euro &IKw-"
. STATUS "INBOX.Euro &IKw-" (MESSAGES)
* STATUS {14}
INBOX.Euro € (MESSAGES 0)
. OK Status completed.

Is this intended? My Perl script based on Mail::IMAPTalk doesn't like
it and I wonder if there are other clients that don't cope with it.
