That didn't make a difference.

There's no other Sent* folder of any capitalisation - although to
confuse things the iCloud web interface calls it "Sent" and not it's
full name.

BUT. I think I've found the culprit. I tried deleting the account and
recreating it (it's IMAP, it works!) - and in the process I just ticked
the same options in "Receiving Options" as before, and it once again
misbehaved.  I tried it again - delete account and recreate it - but
this time I didn't enable the "Quick Resync" and it behaves - i.e. it
retains the correct sent folder between restarts.

So, is this a bug - do you still want me to file a bug report?
