mailbox listed twice

Looks like it doesn't. I really don't want to upgrade to 2.3.x at this  
point only to find out that it still hasn't been fixed there either.  
Does anybody have more information whether this has been fixed and  
maybe when or where?

Btw, it's not related to mailbox names with spaces here:

d list "" "INBOX.%"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.AMMMa"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Bounced"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.Consulting"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Entw&APw-rfe"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.HI"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.Mailinglisten"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.PHP + Web"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.Privat"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Root"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Spam"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.Support etc"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.Test"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Virii"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.horde"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.sent"
