Hmmm, just tested this again, and I can't reproduce your problem :-/
I'm a little bit lost now :-/

Just scratch this, it was misleading.

To Phil: Why does an appendfile transport save to a file if I
explicitly declare it as maildir_format? IMHO if a router makes
file_transport point to a maildir_format-appendfile transport, maildir
should be enforced. This would make it possible for an admin to force the
users to use maildirs.
