OK, then I think you'll just have to end up patching that small part  
of Dovecot. Supporting NIL separator seems like more trouble than  
worth. Maybe you can also do something similar to how Maildir++ works,  
just decide that e.g. ^ character is a hierarchy separator and have  
Dovecot use that?
