I dunno, the UW imapd FAQ or source code might tell.

Same here, this is a UW imapd internal thing, it isn't part of IMAP or
any other standard. But the reasonable thing is that multiple marks
are allowed, otherwise the UW imapd mbox store would be very limited.
The Gnusish way to do this would be to make Gnus read VM mailboxes
properly. I wonder if this is difficult. Is the VM mailbox format
described anywhere? Maybe it is just babyl and some external marks
stuff? I'm not really familiar with VM.
