It seems like a combination of the two. If I view the folder in one instance
of mutt, then open up a second instance of mutt on another computer, the
folder doesn't appear in the list of folders with new mail (other folders with
new mail do however).

However, if I open up the folder in a different mail client, such as
thunderbird, mutt still shows the folder as containing new mail (unless
thunderbird marks all the mail in the folder as read). So it appears there is
a flag being set on the server, but that it is something mutt itself sets on
folder entry. I guess I'll need to take a look and find out what mutt does on
opening an imap folder.
