When I create a IMAP folder called "php.net" in Thunderbird, a folder called "php" is created with a subfolder called "net", is this a bug in Thunderbird or is it something that I or you can fix?

This is because the hierarchy separator with maildir is a dot. Only way to fix it would be to modify sources and change it to something else. Perhaps in future there will be other options.
