When I try the same, I do get INBOX in the list of EXAMINES:

10:14:57 [quimby.gnus.org] 12526 EXAMINE "Sent" (QRESYNC (1457952636 8))
10:14:57 [quimby.gnus.org] 12527 EXAMINE "INBOX" (QRESYNC (1164213559 1225378))

So it sounds like somehow your Gnus is deciding not to activate the
INBOX group (because of some setting or other, I'd guess).  I'm not sure
how you could debug that -- perhaps debug-on-entry on
nnimap-retrieve-group-data-early and see where the list of `infos' is
coming from, and see whether it includes INBOX and whether it's being
filtered out?
