Not that I have the answer, but to help you (and others) narrow it down:
Are these local folders, or remote folders (e.g. on an IMAP server, or
over NFS)?

If they're remote, perhaps it doesn't wait long enough to find them,
before declaring them deleted.

I gave up on using filters with evolution, long ago.  But for a
different reason - it was painfully slow at filtering mail if I had
anything more than about three filters set up.  And yes, each filter was
set up to end the filtering as soon as a match happened, so each mail
doesn't go through every filter rule.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
