It seems I had manually installed the add-on in addition to the bundled version and I think this was conflicting - after uninstalling the manual copy of the addon it now works - so for anyone else affected, in Thunderbird, open the Tools menu then select Addons, and in the Addon Manager tab, if there is a Remove button alongside the Unity and Messaging Menu Indicator Addon, click this to remove the local copy. When you restart Thunderbird you'll notice the Addon is still listed but without the remove button - this is now the bundled copy of the addon which should hopefully work.
