Confirmed with next build.
> Name : Thunderbird, Version : 5.0
> User Agent : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20110624 Thunderbird/5.0 
> Application Build ID : 20110624125636

(1) Create virtual folder of X:Y under folder b.
  virtualFlders.dat
   uri=mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/b/X%3AY
   terms=AND (subject,contains,XXX)
  created file : ...\b.sbd\X4c35ceda.msf (:Y part is hashed)
(2) Restart Tb => Two X:Y at folder pane
  virtualFlders.dat
   uri=mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/b/X4c35ceda
   terms=AND (subject,contains,XXX)
   uri=mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/b/X%3AY
   terms=AND (subject,contains,XXX)
(3) Change condition in properties of any one of two X:Ys.
  virtualFlders.dat
   uri=mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/b/X4c35ceda
   terms=AND (subject,contains,YYY)
   uri=mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/b/X%3AY
   terms=AND (subject,contains,YYY)
  Condition of two entries is updated at same time. 

If rename of existent virtual folder(e.g. ABC) to X:Y, inconsistent entry of uri=mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/b/X%3AY is not created, and entry of uri=mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/b/X4c35ceda which is consistent with file name is used since initial.

Workaround.
  Create virtual folder ABC, then reame ABC to X:Y.

As seen in bug 927827 "ascii illegal file name character" case, original comment #0 case(and comment #1), doesn't occur in Tb 24, although bug 694933 comment #3(== comment #2) still occurs in Tb 24.

Change back to original bug summary, and cancel duping of bug 694933.
