UW imapd does not allow this.  You have to first rename box to something 
else, then rename it to box/child/box.

Nobody has ever complained.  Your suggestion that dragging and dropping 
can cause this to happen by accident and break clients seems to me to be a 
pretty compelling reason not to do it.
