Oh, in that case looks like I removed the other checks a bit later in

	* src/imap/commands-util.c: Fixes to checking if mailbox name is
	  valid. In case mailbox name is invalid, put it through
	  str_sanitize() before giving it in an error message.

You could get dovecot-latest from http://dovecot.org/nightly/ or wait  
a while for 1.0rc1, which I'll release soon.. I guess I should do  
that already, but I'm still feeling a bit unsure if there are any  
stupid bugs left :)
