Yes, I see a similar behaviour. Deletion works for me, but not if I 
create a real mbox-file test in the directory foo/bar before. 
This is because we will have a empty directory foo/bar/.imap after 
deleting test. 

Dovecot response with (output of ngrep):


T 192.168.0.1:32831 -> 192.168.0.90:143 [AP]
  263 DELETE foo/bar/test..                                                  
#
T 192.168.0.90:143 -> 192.168.0.1:32831 [AP]
  263 OK Delete completed...

  265 NO Folder foo/bar isn't empty, can't delete it...
