Sorry, but you forgot to post your complete doveconf -n output
and how to exactly reproduce this.

I'm getting the same result when SIEVE sorts Messages into autocreated
subfolders inside of folders which do not exist. So it's probably
not a ghost folder, it is just an intermediate folder
which does not exist itself, but contains existing subfolders.

This forces your mail client to display the folder in the tree:

INBOX             exists         (black)
INBOX/foo         does not exist (grey)
INBOX/foo/bar     exists         (black)

HTH and Regards
Daniel
