IIUC you expect $MAILDIR/inbox to work as a folder.
Folders are a Maildir++ extension, whose spec is here:
http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html
According to that spec, folder names must start with a period:
'Folders are created as subdirectories under the main Maildir. The name
of the subdirectory always starts with a period. For example, a folder
named "Important" will be a subdirectory called ".Important". You can't
have subdirectories that start with two periods.'
I don't know if there are extensions to this standard, but this is
pretty definitive so I don't think it's a Gnus bug.
