Does no-one have an opinion about wildcards in the first argument to LIST?

Hello everyone,
I believe this is erroneously implemented in Dovecot:
for i in c.list_folders('deleteme.*.folder', '%'): ... print(i) ... ((b'\\HasNoChildren',), b'.', 'deleteme.*.folder') ((b'\\HasNoChildren',), b'.', 'deleteme.deleteme.deleteme.folder')
We see here an interactive python session, which launches
LIST "deleteme.*.folder" "%"
over the wire and receives two mailboxes as answer. The response is already parsed, but that’s not important for my point: according to RFC3501 section 6.3.8 LIST Command, the arguments are “reference name” and “mailbox name with possible wildcards”.
Both arguments are allowed to contain wildcard characters, but they have no special meaning in the reference. Dovecot 2.2.18 doesn’t do that right: the second mailbox should not be listed, because it is not a subfolder of reference.
Is this a known issue?
