Sure, on the second scan. The folders contained tracks which were
missed on the first scan and not added to the database, for no
apparent reason. This is the behavior that doesn't make sense to me.
Touching the folder and forcing a re-scan of the collection seems to
be a reliable way to pick them up the second time, though.
