I wrote a patch that does this. It didn't yet receive much testing and
is not (yet) incorporated into the distribution. I once sent it as an
RFC to this list:
http://lists.hellug.gr/pipermail/imapfilter-devel/2007/000514.html

Please, have a try. I think it should still apply (though not 100%
cleanly, but that should not matter), if it doesn't work, just drop me a
note!

There is also an example included that shows its usage. Basically, it's

   repeat
        filterfunction()
   until not myaccount[inbox]:idle()

instead of

   daemon_mode(200,filterfunction)
