I just started to use offlineimap, so I don't know if this is going to help you,
but I don't see anything about nametrans, and afaik could be the culprit.

Did you check this article?
http://docs.offlineimap.org/en/latest/nametrans.html#reverse-nametrans

"Since 6.4.0, OfflineImap supports the creation of folders on the remote
repository and that complicates things. Previously, only one nametrans setting
on the remote repository was needed and that transformed a remote to a local
name. However, **nametrans transformations are one-way, and OfflineImap has no
way using those rules on the remote repository to back local names to remote
names**."

Hope it helps :)
