This occurs for "legacy" folders. I'm still encountering some atm. 

Workaround: Quit TB. Find the folder in filesystem. Remove .msf, remove .sdb if empty. Rename folder (and possibly .sdb). Restart TB -> Works.

Apparently it does not concern folders with umlauts that were created after a certain version.
