By default it does because it seems that quite frequently semi-aware users 
can be quite destructive with their own ACLs.  So, the default is to allow 
the users to be able to fix this themselves (and, at the same time, create 
subfolders always -- since this is how an IMAP server is expected to 
behave in the general case).

However, as Ken pointed out, the implicit_access_rights imapd.conf option 
should be able to fix this.
