IIRTCC, the string comes from login-common/main.c:master_connect(), 
which is called from login-common/main.c:main(), where it's constructed 
by taking the filename component of the executable ("imap-login") and 
removing the part after the hyphen (yielding "imap"). Since the filename 
component can't contain a slash, this looks like a slight oversight when 
changing the the configuration format.

You can use the --group= parameter to give imap-login what the master 
process wants ("default/imap", I guess).
