I guess they must be, at least in some way, because I actually deleted
~/.evolution, added the labels again, set up the account, and when
Evolution fetched (via IMAP) the email from FastMail.FM, the messages
where tagged.

I don't have any hope that the IMAP server actually know the tag names.
IIRC from Wikipedia, even the 5 first user tags have their meaning
defined by the client, so that's probably the case for these extra tags,
too.
