Yes, I am subscribed to the INBOX.Sent group. 

The above log is exactly what I get when I send a message with the Gcc
field set to INBOX.Sent; I have cleared the *imap-log* buffer just
before composing a new mail.  When the mail was sent, I immediatly
switched to this log buffer, which then contained ~8000 lines of IMAP
dialog (I have ~4000 mail in the INBOX.Sent group).

Thanks.
