I see this even when closing out folders with c (change to another
folder); mutt will still prompt me saying the folder I just left has new
mail. It's not just $ and x.

It's an upstream problem and apparently was intentional.
There's a little discussion and an acknowledgement that they broke a lot of 
people's workflow at http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/NewMailHandling
Someone posted a patch at http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3271#comment:18
but the current resolution is basically that yes, it's broken now, "we're 
planning to rework the new mail handling".

For now it seems the only answer is to build a local copy of mutt with
the patch, or use an older version.
