For anyone that cares, I discovered the work-around is to use URL
style formatting for the spoolfile variable:

set spoolfile="imap://bignachos.com/INBOX"

instead of:
set spoolfile="{bignachos.com}INBOX"

Apparently, mutt uses URL formatting internally and fails to realize
that "{bignachos.com}INBOX" == "imap://bignachos.com/INBOX".
