I'm sort of thinking that each account has just one INBOX, which is the 
one from the namespace with inbox=yes.
Also, IMHO, public Maildir's never have the "root" useable, it is always 
"grey" regardless of the INBOX-setting. I think, I've read it several 
times on this list. You can see the public INBOX as sub-folder, but 
cannot "merge" it as root.
