Hi,

I've just made several experiments. I tested both Maildir layout (your case)
and non-Maildir layout and both layouts work correctly.

Then I tried to create notmuch database without this patch and then add new mails
and run notmuch new with the patch. It seems that in that case no folder terms
are added to the database. 

Probably DATABASE_VERSION should be increased by this patch, but I do not want
to do it until it is clear that this patch will be merged. Otherwise, there 
might be collision with other patches.

How did you rebuild it? I deleted the .notmuch directory and run notmuch new.

If the above didn't help, try to apply this patch. If you see your folder names
during notmuch new, it should work.
