Okay, you are right.  The source comments say this:

    /* instead of logging out, keep the connection open
     * and open inbox readonly
     * that way there is mess with mailbox locks
     */

and then:

    /* This is a normal exit.
     * The client will wait for the server to close the connection
     * but the server doesn't know the client is logging out.
     * So, the task is up to the parent to close the client connection.
     */

I'm not sure why it does this, but I'm sure the author or someone can
answer that.
