Cyrus isn't broken, as the error is reported via sieveshell, but not  
without Heiko's patch to some part of the Horde framework I do not see.

The problem remains, generation of invalid scripts. I think Ingo,  
being able to generate output for various different filter engines  
(sieve only one of them), should normalize these filters - they are  
configured by non-technical users, and expecting them to know the  
details of Sieve syntax is expecting too much anyways.
