Well, I've looked into the source now, and understand, what happens: 
the seen db is user dependant.

Further thinking and searching on how to solve this problem cleanly 
brought me to the proxyauth command, which would fit my needs, but  
unfortunately is non standard nor implemented in cyrus.

Thus let me rephrase my question: is there a way to migrate mbox 
mailboxes in a way, that they appear exactly the same in cyrus from 
within an admin account (without compromising user logins), including 
the \Seen flag?

The perl scripts from the wiki suffer from the same problem, btw.
