Is it an IMAP account or a local Maildir? Or are you looking at the
filename at the server filesystem?

It looks like what Dovecot does for locally storing the label (in
addition of using the index):
 http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#IMAP_keywords

In that case, evolution seems to be doing something "wrong" (or perhaps
not recognising that the server can store them), as Dovecot isn't
picking them (while with thunderbird it does). Can you provide the IMAP
commands sent by evolution?

In order to get evolution log, you can use:
 CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution &>log.txt
