It's look like a big bug. As I understang there shouldn't be any different between logging in with masteruser and normal log in. But in my system I can't use masteruser at all due to IMAP errors.

I have very strange problem with masteruser. See two logs below:
I can't help, but I can add my observations... Using dovecot 1.2.11 and master users, I noticed that if I login with to a user (real-user) using the master user (master-user), then the mailbox listing shows all non-acl mailboxes fine, but for acl-controlled mailboxes it shows those for which "master-user" has access, not those for which "real-user" has access.
This really freaked me out the first time I logged in and a shared folder showed up when it shouldn't have. I thought I had shared it with everyone! But I was able to verify that a real login to "real-user" doesn't see the shared folder, while a master login to "real-user" does see it. So it is the master user login that is messing up the acl checks.
