No, they don't. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377900#c11

cyrus has to support 'c' and 'd' flag as required by RFC 4314. They made a
quick fix to check the RFC 4314 't' flag, too. And they opened a second
'bug' to implement full RFC 4314 support. See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310958

Again, no. RFC 4314 requires the server to support 'c' and 'd' flag from
RFC 2068. And cyrus does it. But as I meantioned before there was a change
from cyrus 2.3.7 to 2.3.8. At least 2.3.7 added 'c' and 'd' on the fly
while answering ACL requests if the appropriate RFC 4314 flags were set in
the stored ACL. cyrus 2.3.8 now writes the 'c' and 'd' flag into the stored
ACL. If you're upgrading from 2.3.7 to 2.3.8 some people have missing 'c'
and 'd' flags in their ACLs and they are not added automatically anymore.
This get's fixed by simply setting the same ACLs again since cyrus sets 'c'
and 'd' accordingly now.
