Yes, there is a way: unhook. I've been using the same sort of
setup you're playing with for several years now and it works very
well. All my save-hooks are folder-independent, but I do have a lot
of folder-dependent message-hooks. My first folder-hook is this:
folder-hook . 'unhook message-hook'

I ran into the same thing and finally decided on this:
folder-hook . 'source ~/.mutt/default-message-hooks'
where the default-message-hooks file contains all my message-hooks
that set the pager because the quoting for them was especially
nasty. Those hooks are _much_ easier to maintain this way.
In your case, you could have a file of save-hooks for each of your
folders and source each file with a folder-hook.
