Well, I have near 37000 messages spread over 160+ folders and have
only ever had problems like those you describe when I have "messed
about" with the folder structure in both TB and Windows Explorer in a
less than clearly thought out manner (ahem) :-).
I have no suggestions as to why you would be experiencing the need to
repair folders on a regular basis, although it's not entirely clear
what you mean by "repair".

It may be more useful, in the short term, to establish why you are in
the position of having to repair and re-index folders on a regular
basis. Also, I believe that the current version of TB will
automatically re-index a folder if the index file is not present.
There is no interface to remove a current index to allow such a
rebuild to occur, so perhaps your suggestion is a good one.
OTOH, would folder purge / compress not result in a re-index? Or does
TB use the current index to determine where to purge /compress?
Cheers,
Marck
