Yes, uhm, nnimap translates "dormant" into \Flagged + gnus-dormant.
This is so the article "stand out" when you're using some other IMAP
client.

The flag is added at line ~943, and removed internally at line ~910.
It should be easy to comment this two parts out.  Maybe I should make
this conditional, so you can disable this behaviour?

Btw, very interesting idea!  This is a nice way to get user-specific
flags without server support for the idea.  It might even be possible
to extend to all flag (i.e. different set of Read-flags for different
users).

I'm not sure if even Cyrus 2.x helps.  \Read and maybe some other are
user-specific, but I don't think \Flagged etc are.  But I maybe wrong.
