[Dovecot] Shared folder prefix listed multiple times with dovecot 2.1.1

Hi,

after upgrading from 2.0.18 to 2.1.1 I noticed that I could not use
shared folders with mutt anymore. 2.1 lists the shared namespace prefix
once per user sharing an folder in LIST "" "%".

I also noticed, that with 2.1 the user folder (Shared/<username>) is no
longer tagged as \NoSelect.

Is this the intended behaviour and mutt simply cannot cope with it or
is it a dovecot problem?

Here an example with three users sharing a folder to the logged in user
with Dovecot 2.1.1:

2 LIST "" "*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Shared/test"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/test/Share"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Shared/test2"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/test2/Share2"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Shared/test3"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/test3/Share3"
2 OK List completed.


2 LIST "" "%"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared"
2 OK List completed.


The same three users and config with Dovecot 2.0.18:

2 LIST "" "*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared/test"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared/test2"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared/test3"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/test/Share"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/test2/Share2"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/test3/Share3"
2 OK List completed.


2 LIST "" "%"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared"
2 OK List completed.
