Well, I'll try to reproduce it, but a few things could be changed
anyway:

With this setup IMAP keywords (=labels/custom flags) will be messed up.
CONTROL should point to the user's directory. Then also set
subscriptions=no so subscriptions will be saved to user's primary

Similar problem here, unless you intended to force users to be
subscribed to same public mailboxes (which is what this currently does).
