An interesting thread has occurred on the Cyrus IMAPd mailing list regarding the lowly ampersand. Apparently in the encoding used by IMAP (a "modified UTF-7 encoding") the ampersand ("&") requires escaping. So it works fine to have subfolders whose name contains an ampersand as IMAP clients, of course, use the appropriate IMAP encoding.
