You're right, I've found the same thing.

There exists a patch for Mutt which makes Mutt consider the "new"
sub-directory timestamp to be the "folder timestamp" for Maildir
folders.  I really think it should be integrated into the mainstream
Mutt, but so far it hasn't been...  Actually, looking at that patch,
it also does something else with Maildirs, so maybe that's why.  It's
also a bit old (March), so may not apply cleanly to current Mutt
versions.
