I would guess that the folder does exist in the mailboxes.db file. Dump 
your mailboxes.db out to a text file and confirm.

1. Recreate the mailboxes.db file without the bogus folder.

2. Have the user recreate the bogus folder and delete it. Actually that 
might not work because Cyrus probably won't allow the bogus folder to be 
created since it already thinks it exists. You might be able to get 
around it by reconstructing the Trash mailbox for the affected user.
