The forward is done by cyrus imap at delivery, by a sieve script. (
look in lmtpd.log )
The sieve scrip is attached to a mailbox and probably not deleted at
deletion of the mailbox.

Kolabd could maybe delete such script at creation and/or deletion time
to prevent this kind of problem

look into /kolab/var/imapd/sieve/ for the scripts and delete manualy
all files in the directory with the same name as mailbox.

You could also recreate the normal user, reset the forwarding, then
recreate the list ! This is longer
