Doesn't sound right.. They should be equal always.
Try talking IMAP protocol and seeing if the subscriptions file you created is
correct: http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation
Especially see that the LIST and LSUB output contains the mailbox names the
same way. You can also use SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE commands to change the
subscriptions.

No, it doesn't. With Maildir it's in "subscriptions" text file.
dovecot -n output might have been useful too.
