Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110221 Thunderbird/3.1.8
on restart updated version has the same problem and no error in the error console.
Turning view, toolbar, quick filter off and on again brings up the search box in the quick filter bar.

Usually everything is clean, that was the only time I saw any of that mess.
Now at Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Thunderbird/3.1.9
and still usually do not get the search box when first opening Thunderbird.
closing and reopening the quick filter toolbar still restores the search box.

M Koch, does this happen if Tbird started in safe mode using version 8 or newer?

I am not sure what/how to start Tbird in safe mode.  I have settled for the fact there is a way to toggle the QuickFilter on the first screen by double clicking the "looking glass" so it goes off and on and then it has a search box.<sigh>
easier than spending too much time worrying about it.

Bit unclear description, but might this not be a dupe of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714337 ?

M Koch, do you see https://bug714337.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=585016 ?

[M Koch]

Wayne,
yes it looks like that
but since I know double clicking the "looking glass" icon will get a search box I don't sweat it so much anymore.
