This seems to kinda work with the only oddity being that the ios client,
if not manually configured with the correct prefix, ends up creating new
folders in the hidden one and initially displaying them at the same
level as the inbox.  Once the app is restarted it sees them in the
"correct" namespace as a folder under the inbox.  However, looks like
some other clients might get confused, but maybe Windows Live Mail is
going to get confused anyway. ;)

namespace {
        type=private
        separator = .
        prefix = INBOX.
        inbox = yes
        mailbox Trash {
                auto = create
                special_use = \Trash
        }
	...
}

namespace FAKE {
        type=private
        separator = .
        hidden = yes
        list = no
	mailbox Trash {
                special_use = \Trash
        }
	...
}
