Anyone exporting to Cyrus-IMAP using Freeside 1.4.x series?

I'm wondering if anyone is using Freeside 1.4.x to export to a Cyrus-IMAP 
mail store?  That's what I'd like to accomplish.  While I'm a Cyrus-IMAP 
novice, I did succeed in setting up a few working email accounts manually.  
However, my attempts using Freeside haven't yet succeeded. 

Looking at the code in the FS/FS/part_export/cyrus.pm module, my 
interpretation of the _export_insert() subroutine is that it never passes a 
password field to the cyrus_queue() subroutine: 

sub _export_insert {
 my($self, $svc_acct) = (shift, shift);
 $self->cyrus_queue( $svc_acct->svcnum, 'insert',
   $svc_acct->username, $svc_acct->quota );
} 

Therefore, I don't see the users' password ever be delivered to Cyrus via 
Freeside.  So using Cyrus email accounts would require a seperate password 
initialization/management utility, as in web-cyradm 
(http://www.delouw.ch/linux/web-cyradm/).  Is that correct?
