If you have a new message in a folder, the folder and the top-level folder indicates you have a new message adding a small star to the icon. 

If you have this scenario: you have an account as top-level account. You have a filter which moves messages that fit the filter to another folder inside, e.g., Local Folders. This is what happens:

a. Thunderbird receives a new message from the account you have the separated top-level account. The top-level account thinks "I have a new mail on my Inbox", so it becomes the small star.

b. Your filter moves this new message to a folder inside the "Local Folders" top-level folder. The folder thinks "I have a new mail", so it has now the small star. But the two top-level folders (Local Folders and the top-level account folder) don't update the "has new message" status.

It seems Bug 392637 is somehow related...

I'm attaching an image which shows the issue.
