With Maildir and path separator "." one can have incomplete paths: eg. bpatterson.INBOX.2011 will say that there is 2011 within INBOX within bpatterson -- while it is possible, that both bpatterson and bpatterson.INBOX do not exist! Thunderbird will render the missing folders gray in the UI, you probably cannot subscribe to those, even from the subscribe dialogue. You should be able to create them though.
That is correct.
If you want to create the "path" Somename/Foo/Bar/Baz (as seen by the IMAP client), even if only Somename and Baz contains messages, you must have the entire "path", that is tour mailbox directory must contain the directories:
.Somename .Somename.Foo .Somename.Foo.Bar .Somename.Foo.Bar.Baz
Of course each of the directories will contain cur, tmp, new and Dovecot files
