It's most likely that Mozilla bug. Or maybe you have set wrong IMAP prefix? It tries anyway to subscribe using '/' hierarchy separator while Dovecot wants '.'.
I've never had any problems subscribing to mailboxes using Netscape (I use NS under Windows; I've had bad experiences with Moz under Windows).
Running Netscape 7.1, and am using the "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages" in the incoming server's advance properties as unchecked since I use mbox.
With mbox Dovecot wants to use '/' separator, so it's only maildir that's problematic :)
Next version allows changing the hierarchy separator to anything you want. Could be a good idea to use '/' with maildirs as well. I'm not sure if I'd want to change the default though, might break some clients which have cached the separator.
