I'm not sure I quite follow; if I misunderstand, I apologise:

Do you mean as a :coding parameter to make-network-process?
nnimap-open-connection-1 doesn't call that function directly, and the
functions it does call doesn't take any :coding parameters.

Yes, that's unfortunate -- the "bind variables as a way of passing in
parameters" thing that Emacs does a lot is a really bad one.  I think
the fix here would be to change open-network-stream, at least, to have a
:coding parameter (and pass it on).
