I added this line:

        macro index <tab> <change-folder><enter><next-new>

and it seems to take me through all messages in all my folders pretty
neatly.

I added this as-is and it works perfectly, and since it actually displays
an "N" next to mailboxes with new messages, it pretty much does everything
I want!  OK, it would be nice to see number of new and unread, but this
is probably good enough for my purposes.

Right... I think you want something that acts on tagged messages and saves
them to existing mailboxes using save-hooks if they exist, or otherwise to
the received folder if there's no existing mailbox.  To be honest, having my mail
auto-filtered makes this less of a priority for me now :)
