The main issue is not much about nesting. There are expectations all
over the code that the local Maildir is mapped to one remote.

Offlineimap makes assumptions on the filnenames and handle a cache about
what is the state of the previous sync. Having more than one remote
would break those assumptions.

The best workaround I can think of is syncing each account to its own
local Maildir and running a script to "merge" the local copies. This is
a bit trickier than it looks at first glance because of the filename
assumptions. Filenames won't be the same in both local Maildir and
emails must be renamed when added in a Maildir (whatever they are new or
not).
