Here's what I had to do to replicate this:
1) Add -recurse. Do you have -recurse set in your ~/.mh_profile?
2) Use the nmh 1.3 version of folder (or folders). I don't see
the problem with the latest nmh. Perhaps that explains why
Peter doesn't see the problem, either.
The folder crawling code in uip/folders.c underwent renovation
after 1.3, so my guess is that this was fixed as a part of, or
as a byproduct of, that.

I would have been very cross indeed if it had started vacuuming up
Entire other filesystems that it visited.
I'd go so far as claim that any behavior which leads MH out of your
MH or $HOME trees without direct, positive indication of intent
Is just wrongheaded behavior.
