Client bug.

SORT is a command that relies on the "SORT" IMAP extension being 
supported. BincIMAP 1.2.x does not support *ANY* IMAP extensions, as 
your client would know if it issued the "CAPABILITY" command. For 
details on the CAPABILITY command, try here: 
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2060.html

For details on optional IMAP extensions that servers may not necessarily 
support, try here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/imap4-capabilities 
I'm not sure if SORT=MODSEQ has become an official RFC or not (I can 
only find drafts).

Client bug, as you suspect.
