While this code is present in older versions of python, it seems to have become a problem recently (2009-05-06 is the earliest report on the issue) perhaps due to a version bump of OpenSSL? I never noticed the problem in python2.5 even though the code is unchanged.

To answer my own question, this was introduced in r64578 in ssl.py by the addition of the suppress_ragged_eofs feature (seems to originate with issue1251). While it is a change in the behavior of the ssl module, the change falls in line with other file-like objects and their handling of EOF, so the bug still falls to imaplib.

In other words, this bug appeared in 2.6 and 3.0, and is present in all subsequent versions.
