This was apparently a failure in our configuration (default value for IMP spam_folder), not a bug. My apologies for the confusion.

See ~~bug 6527~~ - how are both of these possible open bugs at the same time?

And where are you getting the folder name? If you're using IMP to get the folder list I believe INBOX. should be included automatically. I used IMP's Options -> Server and Folder Information -> Spam folder drop-down menu. And I also used INGO's Spam Filter -> Folder to receive spam menu. Both resulted in a sieve script without any prefix. I was also able to create new spam folders with both (with some trouble, see ~~ticket #6640~~ - IMP spam_folder appears to override INGO spam['folder'] upon login) - and the resulting script had no prefix in the folder name.

The patch was inappropriate for a general-purpose sieve generation app. Folder paths should never be hardcoded.

If it is enough to disallow spam folders outside one's INBOX, then this patch might suffice...

Sieve script fileinto clause should have "INBOX.folder", not only "folder". If there is a line in a sieve script such as 'fileinto "junk4";', the script tries to insert the mail into a folder "junk4" in the global namespace, not in "user.$userid.junk4". The line should be 'fileinto "INBOX.junk4";'.
