As long as dovecot doesn't read a different meaning into those flags (ignoring them is just fine) we should be fine. I don't think we'll have many customers switching back and forth between dovecot and UW-IMAP, just people switching from UW-IMAP to dovecot.
Keeping the UIDs untouched when changing could be important to some people whose mail clients can save some extra information related to specific messages and use UID to identify the mails. I think Evolution does this with it's labels and Follow-Up marks, but I'm not sure.
Well, what I meant was that currently, IMAP is being used only by SquirrelMail, and I'm fairly sure SquirrelMail doesn't store UIDs anywhere. Other IMAP clients would be an issue only if we allowed other IMAP clients to connect, which we don't (except in internal tests :).
