No. RFC 5819 [2]:

Just wondering if the INBOX was SELECTed at the time? There's some fun interaction around STATUS and SELECT in RFC3501.
Except as I read 5819, this is completely irrelevant. LIST-STATUS !=
STATUS. LIST-STATUS produces STATUS-like responses, but isn't
controlled by any of the rules of the original STATUS. At least
that's how I interpret it.
Looking at the rest of this thread, I think we are all in agreement
that something is fishy. As OP reported, it appears to be something
specific with personal namespaces (possibly 'INBOX.' only).
