Reproducible for me too - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031506 Minefield/3.0b5pre
When I clicked on some bookmark inside folder "Sort by name" option was disabled, but when I clicked on separator inside folder "Sort by name" worked correctly.
The same problem is reproducible from Bookmarks sidebar.

Seems different. "Sort by Name" is now only enabled on folders and separators, not on bookmarks within a folder.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
