I think you're still confused :)

Under LAYOUT=fs perhaps the default_separator ought to be '.', and under LAYOUT=maildir++ perhaps the default_separator ought to be '/', regardless of the mailbox format :-)

It works like that, except the opposite way. With LAYOUT=fs the default separator is '/' because the hierarchies are separated by the '/' directory separator. With Maildir++ it's '.', because the separator in disk is '.'.

So only the layout determines what hierarchy separator is in use. Of course, each mailbox format has their default layout.
