Can you attach a screenshot of the Junk settings pane? Also do you use defered Inbox (global inbox) in the account you want to change?

The dialog is broken for you, some of the dropdown menus are empty, that is wrong.

This looks like bug 536768. If you do not want to upgrade to TB17 yet (it is not released yet), you can try the workaround in bug 536768 comment 73. Just in step 3. set the junk target folders to the 'rollo' account.
