Um, I'm not claiming that having to lock the file twice matters.  The 
issue I see is in rebuilding the spool in a way that is sensiable.  I don't
think for example putting the X-MUA-Magic-thingy most clients use to store
metadata belongs back in the spool.  With that said, the move-back would 
have to trim off all of the metadata; which would remove any chance of 
getting virtual-imap.  I assume by virtual-imap you are meaning the ability
to have folders without having folders. 

Maybe If i understood why you want this it would make sense to me; but 
basically I just can't see how it would be useful.
