I'm not sure when this popped up (maybe 1.5.0.7 - I'm now in 1.5.0.8)

My only workaround has been to switch to another MUA long enough to
create the folder (I've done it in both Evolution and Kmail with no
trouble).

And to be sure some extension wasn't the source of the problem, I've run
Thunderbird in safe mode and the problem persists.

Has anyone else run into this?

Not I. I'm running the most recent release of TB from the ubuntu repos,
and IMAP works fine (including creating folders).

I'd say it's almost certainly an IMAP server-client communication
configuration problem. I had similar problems when I switched from Courier
to Dovecot for IMAP, and the default namespace needed to be reconfigured in
KMail. I can't really recall what I did, but that's the place to start
looking.
