While useful that Dovecot is more liberal about what it receives, 3501 seems pretty clear that incorrect FETCH parameters must return a BAD. I can verify that the above commands fail on Cyrus.

It's a SHOULD, not a MUST:

Servers SHOULD enforce the syntax outlined in this specification strictly. Any client command with a protocol syntax error, including (but not limited to) missing or extraneous spaces or arguments, SHOULD be rejected, and the client given a BAD server completion response.

But since it's not much trouble to fix it: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/19e09ab09383
