Using your test script with 1.1900-1 I get
0E0 messages

"0E0" comes from Simple.pm, line 254:
            $nm ? $nm : "0E0";

Changes contains:
1.1810: Sun Jun  7 10:52:30 EDT 2009
   - made $imap->select return "0E0" when 0 messages are found
     after an otherwise successful select.

I'd suggest to close this bug accordingly.

Cheers,
gregor
