You most likely want to have subscriptions=no for your shared namespace. Also you most likely want to enable ACL plugin.
Yes - thank you for your comment! The ACLs I had configured before are not enabled in this minimalistic configuration because of crashes when running doveadm backup -R ... imapc: with ACLs enabled.
You wrote that you are continuing debugging "my problem". Regardless of this, should I investigate / file this ACL (related) bug?
With todays nightly:
