Hmm... That would be a (minor) UI bug (but see previous about the 
likelihood of such being fixed ATM) that I see here too, now that you 
point it out.  However, there's a different way, and that's what I 
intuitively used, not even thinking about the main folder menu.

If instead of the top menu you use the context-menu, context-clicking on 
the parent folder (including Local Folders) you want to create a new 
folder in...

The new folder option should be active and allow you to create the folder 
as desired. =:^)

As I said, that's what I intuitively used trying to duplicate your issue, 
but I didn't see it, since I was using a different menu and didn't get 
that minor UI bug.
