What is going on? Why is the IMAP service outputting DCL code?

This is because either your system-wide login (SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGIN.COM) or your SYSTEM login (SYS$MANAGER:LOGIN.COM) is printing that out. (The IMAP server process runs using DCL, so whatever is in the (SY)LOGIN.COM files gets executed.)

Now, that said, VERIFY should be off by default, so I don't know why you're seeing it here. You don't have SYLOGIN_VERIFY defined to be 1, do you? (I don't think that would be the issue since the "$ Set NoOn" line was logged as well before the check in F$VERIFY().)
