Hi Matthew, I can confirm your findings -- the folders were retained, however none of my apps from the app store were copied to my 3GS upon upgrading IOS from 4.3.5 to 5.
In itunes, I went into the apps tab under iPhone settings and noticed that the option to sync apps was not checked. I checked that and then *MOST* apps were restored, though not to their original folders. Oddly, a few recently added apps were still not there, but since my 4S is arriving tomorrow I decided to worry about it then :). I'm guessing that this is unique to the 3GS, and if that's your hardware, that would seem to validate my theory. HTH a little.
