This is most likely because of Maildir++ quota. So for example if you
tell MDA to deliver mail to /foo/bar, should it use /foo/bar/ maildirsize
or /foo/maildirsize file? It's especially problematic if the file
doesn't already exist.

In your example (sorry I haven't had to use quota), you mean that both /foo et
/foo/bar would have a quota ?

No. Maybe a more understandable example would have been ~/Maildir/ and ~/Maildir/.bar/. If MDA only gets that one path (so it doesn't know the "maildir root dir"), it uses a simple rule to figure out where to update maildirsize file: Do I have maildirfolder file? If so, use parent dir. If not, use current dir.
