Actually it's the user's own folders that cause the problem.  Shared
folders people wind up screwing themselves on ;)

Your patch isn't complete, because it doesn't affect some implicit
administrative rights that are granted in user mailbox spaces, (see, for
example, mboxlist_mycreatemailbox where is_admin gets set if the user owns
the mailbox, and therefore the acl is ignored).
