How do I work around "Could not parse command" error when selecting folder with a backslash at start of name?

Question

If I have a folder called "\Something" at the root of my IMAP folder hierarchy, and I do $imap.Select("\Something"), I get an exception (detailed listed below)

System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException: Exception calling "Select" with "1" argument(s): "Could not parse command" ---> Limilabs.Client.IMAP.ImapResponseException: Could not parse command

I ran into this by querying Google folders and noticing that my script died on "\muted". It seems to be an issue with the backslash.

This issue was already reported. I'll send you a link to the latest beta version.

The fix will be of course included in the next version.
