While I applied the update yesterday, I had TB running when it updated so I didn't see anything until today.
That said, I am seeing the same result.

I use filters extensively, but I don't think it has to do with filters because even some folders that are not filtered have the same issue.

Basically, any folder that has new e-mails in it use to have its name in the tree view on the left highlighted in bold;
that is no longer the case.

This applies equally to folders that I have filtered (f.e. Inbox->Local Folders) and the destination folders (f.e. Local Folders->Company->Bugzilla->Bugzilla_Bugs), and folders that I have not filtered, (f.e. Inbox ->Gmail - an LDAP folder).
