Except as I read 5819, this is completely irrelevant.  LIST-STATUS !=  
STATUS.  LIST-STATUS produces STATUS-like responses, but isn't  
controlled by any of the rules of the original STATUS.  At least  
that's how I interpret it.

Looking at the rest of this thread, I think we are all in agreement  
that something is fishy.  As OP reported, it appears to be something  
specific with personal namespaces (possibly 'INBOX.' only).
