OKay:

It is a quite nifty behavior of Balsa!
It will list all Mailboxes which are in the dir you said in "local mail" 
in the Tree.
If now there is a Mailbox called Order in this dir it will be chown "as it 
is"

You could try to edit ~/.gnome/balsa by hand and add an entry concerning 
this Mailbox (it worked for me some versions ago...) but I just tried and: 
no luck...

But the second thing you can do is to move the Orders-Mailbox to another 
dir and then choose "new->local Mbox (or whatever it is)" -> Then it is 
possible to do all this nifty things like renaming...

Like I said it is not really a bug...
But someone could change the behavior of Balsa on a normal kill and a 
signal of the gnome-session manager (shutdown and close all boxes)
