I was getting a similar error after upgrading. I found that translating
INBOX to "." did not work; translating INBOX to "" did. (Using "" to
refer to the top-level maildir seems to work best.)

Here is the nametrans I am using:

def my_nametrans( foldername ):
	if foldername == 'INBOX':
		return ''
	else:
		return '.' + foldername
