It could be that subr-x wasn't loaded, which would also have the
effect of if-let* and when-let* not existing. Although that wouldn't
directly explain the non-star version working, perhaps when removing
the star, subr-x got loaded? Seems especially likel

nnimap.el doesn't explicitly require subr-x. It used to be required in
message.el, until read-multiple-choice was moved to a separate file[1:
295457ae52], now it requires subr-x at compile time [2: 2d58d51329],
but perhaps it doesn't work for nnimap.el depending on the order of
compilation?
