I spent some time trying to reproduce this and step through the code.
While I can reproduce it, I can't fix this without rewriting the whole
status cache.
I'd like to explain why the 'unversioned' overlay for folders doesn't
work as you expect:
The status cache keeps the status of files and folder grouped by
folders. For example, a folder object in the cache keeps the status of
all its immediate children (files and folders).
If you create a new unversioned folder, the cache first re-fetches the
status of the parent folder (i.e., the folder where you created the new
folder in). If the parent folder is versioned, the new folder gets a
status of 'unversioned'.
But later, the cache crawls the new folder itself. Since that folder is
not versioned, the status changes to 'none', because a folder doesn't
keep information whether it is inside a versioned folder or not: folders
are treated as independent objects (because you can move versioned
folders around as you like, they're not really attached to their parent
folders).
