Summary: sub folder not created in the manage bookmark → New folder toolbar button in Bookmark Manager does not create subfolders correctly.
Is adding a new folder without a description necessary to reproduce this? It seems to me that any folder thats created gets created in the currently selected folders parent (ie above the selected folder). And we're talking about the left menu tree view, correct?

It doesn't matter whether you leave it named as New Folder or not for the purposes of reproduction. I named mine 'test' and 'test2'. It doesn't make the folder a child of the currently selected folder whether it is selected through the left or the right handed folder trees. It always makes the new folders at the 'root' level of the bookmarks tree, or that is the way it appears anyhow. That is definitely not correct behavior, and could come to be quite an annoyance were you to be making multiple folders rather deep in the tree structure. Mid-air collisions, joy!
