I'd think it behaves the same way if you simply created the private

namespace private { separator = / .. [Note that I've got in the setup above, I've got no mail_location set up globally since I set it up in the default namespace.]
I cannot create a mailbox named "foo.bar"
Isn't that what I also said? The public namespace makes no difference, only the private namespace.
as I could with a global configuration with no namespace at all.
Yes, because then the separator is '.' instead of '/'.
Would you agree that the behavior which denies dot is the correct one ?
Yes. I explicitly added code to disallow that. It just confused clients and users when it was allowed.
Anyway, listescape plugin will help you.
