I seem to have possibly figured out a workaround...

1) move all the mail in the non-new-mail-displaying folder to a newly
created folder
2) delete the old folder
3) quit Evolution
4) % killev
5) % killev
6) % killev ; echo "Just playing overkill."
7) Start Evolution again
8) Rename the newly created folder to the old folder, update filter
rules, and voila!  New mail is now shown.

Oddly enough, I did this for the initial problem folder, and it seems to
have solved the problem with a couple of other folders...
