[Dovecot] IMAP IDLE, Virtual mailboxes

I'm seeing the same thing: IDLE works fine for normal mailboxes, but fails on
a virtual mailbox. Using rawlog I can confirm that the IDLE command is
received properly, but there is just no notification of the new mail at all:

 > a0026 IDLE
 < + idling
 < * OK Still here
 < * OK Still here
 ... around a hundred more of these ...
 < * OK Still here
 < * OK Still here
 > DONE
 < a0026 OK Idle completed.

(The interleaving of the in and out messages is done by me, but I think this
should be how it went)

During this idle period, tens of emails were delivered, but nothing shows up.

Any suggestions on debugging this further? I'm running dovecot 1.2.9 from
backports.org (but I could compile my own and add some debbuging statements,
if that would help and you have suggestions on where to put them).

Gr.

Matthijs
