Here's what I had to do to replicate this: 1) Add -recurse. Do you have -recurse set in your ~/.mh_profile?
2) Use the nmh 1.3 version of folder (or folders). I don't see the problem with the latest nmh. Perhaps that explains why Peter doesn't see the problem, either. The folder crawling code in uip/folders.c underwent renovation after 1.3, so my guess is that this was fixed as a part of, or as a byproduct of, that.
