I forced tb to skip the unsubscribe step on the rename action. It doesn't seem to cause tombstone folders on the mail folder list (I used a cyrus imap account). However, I do see them in the right-click -> subscribe... dialog. In the dialog, there was no box to subscribe or unsubscribe the gray folders orphaned there after rename, so there is no direct way to get rid of them.

Here's a possible indirect workaround to get rid of your grayed out folder(s). This worked for me to get rid of the gray orphaned folders in subscribe dialog. It might work in main folder list too:

If you have just a single grayed out folder in the main folder list or in subscribe, try re-creating the folder. It may (should?) come back into not-gray existence. Then delete it to trash again to permanently delete it.

If you have a tree of folders grayed out, try creating them separately, e.g.,

a <-- normal
  b  <-- gray
    c  <--gray

Select "a" and then create "b", if "b" comes back not-gray, select "b" and then create c. Then delete to trash what you don't want.
Or if folder "a" is actually Trash, just empty trash after they are all normal again.
