Hi,
I use Patterns in .mbsynrc and there I can have things like
"[Gmail]/Spam"
with no problems. E.g.,
Channel home-updown
Far :home-remote:
Near :home-local:
Patterns "INBOX" "[Gmail]/Spam" "[Gmail]/Trash" "[Gmail]/Drafts" "2read"
Expunge Both
Channel home-up
Far :home-remote:
Near :home-local:

Investigating suggests I need to escape the name of the near-side box by writing
it as
Channel gesh-iobox-sent
Far :gesh-remote:"[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
Near :gesh-local
