That means that if the mailbox is "fastmail.fm!user.brong.Drafts" then the owner is brong@xxxxxxxxxxx. So my seen state is stored in the cyrus.index. If you access other users' folders, or shared folders, then it uses the same seen file as before. Also - if the folder has the SHAREDSEEN attributed, then it uses the cyrus.index item. This means that switching too/from SHAREDSEEN is invisible to the owner of the mailbox, they have the same flags either way :) It's a special case - but it's a special case that saves a lot of IO for 99% of users, so it's a good special case to have!
