I've now fixed the double host name in nnimap.

Edebugging the code, this is the culprit:

      (dolist (backend filtered-backends)
        (setq found-here (apply
                          (slot-value backend 'search-function)
                          :backend backend
                          :create create
                          :delete delete
                          spec))

It's doing two backends, ~/.authinfo.gpg and ~/.authinfo, and since the
first doesn't exist, it tries to create it.  So it should probably do a
two-pass thing without :create to see if any of them return credentials.
