Please open an issue for this. I also noted lately that the acl dialog  
in Horde still has some problems.

I'm not an expert on the cyrus imap permission system but I would say  
that your INBOX always has 'p' rights. As you actually want to reveive  
mails. Also from anyone. And if you fail to give post rights on your  
subfolder the message gets delivered to the INBOX, right? So I don't  
think this is a particular security risk.
