I'm rereading the manual as you suggest below, and from that, and also from the fact that it was working before with the very basic config, I understand that (nnimap "somename") attemtps to use somename as a hostname, unless there's something specified with nnimap-address. I also notice that this version of gnus has added an entry in .authinfo for localhost, which was not present before. I suspect something changed in how dovecot presents the folders, and that's why I'm seeing subdirectories that weren't previously treated a imap folders. I need to dig into dovecot config and find what has happened.

I've tried this by changing the variable from inside emacs configuration. I still get the escapes back when I save.
