Actually, the problem is much much worse and incredibly inconsistent. 
Like blow me away inconsistent.

Connect from localhost, and the realm used is the 'servername' parameter 
from imapd.conf (or FQDN if unset)

Connect from another host, and the realm used is apparently derived from 
the hostname!  In this case, it's being set to sv.svcolo.com

Seriously, are we just making up different answers based on our mood? 
Does the default realm change if the username starts with a capital letter?

This is crazy!
