Corrupted folder names
Somewhere over the past few updates, one virtual folder names have been overwritten with the one above in the list. See the attached image of the local damage. One multiple (but not all) machines, the spam and bulk virtual folders have been renamed to spam. This has occurred on both my gmail and Yahoo accounts. I am unable to simply rename them, as it fails on the remote rename to the already-existing name. The problem is the local title, not the remote one. I need to recover from this by re-reading the provider folder names and correcting the damaged ones locally. How do I do this?

You wait for those making the decisions to work out what they are going to do to recover from this fix for something that was not really broken. Personally my feeling is leave it as it was. But that is not the way these guys think.
See https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/planning/T42889d86e87f0dcf/naming-things-is-hard-especially-folders and these related bugs, which are also mentioned in the first link. Bug 2001557 - folders are renamed in TB 146.0b3+ - imap (and ews) folders do not use the same name as used on server. Bug 1993842 - special folders (spam, trash, ...) renamed to english Bug 1998456 - Folder names do not match names on server and personally created folders renamed by Thunderbird.
