Subfolder in sieve not working as expected

Hi everybody,

I am trying to move incoming mails into subfolders with this sieve script:

require ["fileinto", "variables", "mailbox"];

if header :matches "Delivered-To" "*@*"
{
     fileinto :create "INBOX/${2}";
}

On a message to user at example.com I would expect it to be stored in the 
folder 'example.com' under 'INBOX', but instead a folder named 
'INBOX\2fexample.com' is created.
I tried several options:
- replace / with \/ or \\/
- replace / with .
- disable listescape in dovecot.conf
Unfortunately nothing did the trick. Any ideas what could fix this?
