No it isn't. If it's evidence of anything, it's that the filter code
doesn't remember that you once had a folder with a specific name but
then removed it (using a procedure external to Evolution). I'm not
really surprised this doesn't work.

However the case of simply changing the name of a folder definitely does
work, i.e. the filters update automatically. I've done this lots of
times. What I haven't done is move a folder between accounts and see
what happens to the filters, which is what the OP is asking about.
