That last remark is interesting. I already have aliases in /Mail/V2/Mailboxes/ ... /...mbox that link a mailbox to a folder. I could point the menu alias to the link alias instead of making a direct link.
I just tried creating, in Lion, a symlink file pointing to a folder and manually put it in a Dock menu folder.
BAD NEWS. It works just like an alias file.
