Both of the above should have said:

x NO Mailbox doesn't exist: drafts

Fixed now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/8814ced6d012

These all look ok. INBOX exists, is selectable.

So the shared mailbox simply isn't subscribed to. Subscriptions aren't
added automatically. So there is no bug here.

user1's LIST didn't show any (especially shared) mailboxes under INBOX,
so this looks OK too.

Looks ok.

:LAYOUT=fs is unnecessary with dbox, since it's the default. Also why
are you separating control directory? dbox uses very few control files
and I don't much see point in doing that.

No, it's the other way around: Only INBOX is case-insensitive.
