After being moved, messages remain in both folders on the server

I just noticed, that, when I move a message from INBOX to a folder in Thunderbird (via IMAP), the file on the server sometimes remains in both directories:
/var/spool/imap/user/mi/message.
and
/var/spool/imap/user/mi/folder/message.
The copies are a hardlink, so little space is wasted, but I'm concerned about the toplevel (INBOX) directory having too many entries... I thought, this is related to the folder (not) being immediately "compacted", but even when I explicitly request a compacting (in Thunderbird), the strangeness remains. Right now out of the 35170 messages in my INBOX, 1219 are hardlinked to other folders...

Is this normal? I'm using Cyrus imapd 2.4.11 on FreeBSD. Please, advise. Thanks!
