There are other differences between LAYOUT=fs and LAYOUT=maildir++, not
just that one. I guess ideally there wouldn't be any, but for now
LAYOUT=maildir++ works the way Courier/Cyrus does, and LAYOUT=fs works
the way UW-IMAP does. I'm not going to change that at least before v2.1.

have fixed your previous errors:
