Unfortunately yes it would be useful in my case to have them because of 
historical accident.
How about if listescape plugin escaped it? That would make it possible to use them but still safe against accidental problems.
For others too, I implemented a plugin for escaping mailbox names with Maildir so that it's possible to use '.' in mailbox names: http://dovecot.org/patches/1.0/listescape-plugin.c
