I used it without --syncinternaldates and it worked fine, the dates were 
imported correctly.

imapsync --host1 X.Y.Z.K --user1 joeblow --passfile1 pass1 \
   --host2 A.B.C.D --user2 joeblow --passfile2 pass2 \
   --authmech1 LOGIN --authmech2 LOGIN \
   --prefix2 oldmail/ \
   --subscribe

The --prefix2 option was used because I did not actually migrate one 
account to another, but I just wanted to copy the old account under a 
folder on the new account. That doesn't seem to be your case.
