This isn't true in my case, as I have $folder set to a local directory, so $record is unrelated to $folder. At any rate, setting $folder to "imaps://mx.sdf.org/" doesn't help. But you gave me an idea to set $imap_delim_chars to "/", and this fixed the issue! I still don't understand the use of $imap_delim_chars or why the default is "/.". Muttrc(5) says "it helps in usings the '=' shortcut for your folder variable," which I don't get. Perhaps someone can explain?
