No, it's not.

Have you yet redefined your folder templates? If so, then this is very
strange.

Same here for me.

I strongly suspect that you're missing something.

I just ignore my folder templates. I haven't looked at one in ages.
They're all identical anyway.

Pity you didn't get things to work, I'm almost certain that you'd have
preferred it that way. :-)

Let me give you the advantages I enjoy.
a) I filter all TBBETA and TBUDL messages to a single folder and read
from there. It's a lot easier to read from one instead of two folders.
When I hit reply to a TBBETA message, the TBBETA reply template is used.
When I hit reply to a TBUDL message, the TBUDL reply template is used.
If I didn't have address book templates defined, I couldn't do this.
Even better
b) I filter all private e-mail to the Inbox. I get about 20-30 of these
per day, so instead of managing these messages from multiple folders, I
filter them to a single folder. I then use automatic reply filters to
move the messages to their respective folders when I reply to them. Each
message reply gets it's own address book defined template. If I were
using folder templates, I'd have to filter the messages to folders where
these special templates are defined. I'd be flitting from folder to
folder just to read 10 private mail messages.
Marck uses the ticker virtual folder to read his messages from
*everywhere*. Address book templates are indispensable here since he's
managing his messages from a single folder.
