Some poking around showed that a possible problem was in
libbalsa/folder-scanners.c, where, in `imap_add_folder', an IMAP
mailbox/folder was added either as a mailbox or a folder, depending on
`noselect'.  IMAP mailbox/folders that contain both messages and subfolders
presumably have to be added as both.  The following patch (against today's
CVS) does that, and (for me, with my Cyrus host, today) lets me see the
whole tree and the mail; the ugly part is having two items in balsa's
display for each node.

If anyone else is looking into these IMAP issues, I'd be very interested in
hearing about what's going on.
