Yes.

Sieve scripts are in utf-8. You now have to use the true utf-8 name of the 
folder in your sieve script, and it's automatically converted to the 
modified utf-7 folder name internally.

This change is noted in the changelog for 2.3.11

---
The Sieve compiler now translates UTF-8 mailbox names used in fileinto to 
modified UTF-7 so that messages will be successfully inserted into the 
mailbox.
---

The old way of using the modified utf-7 form in the sieve script was really 
wrong and hacky.

PS. It would be nice if http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/changes.html was 
kept up to date or removed... it's very old.
