Ok, then, it looks like a possible bug.  Here is what you need to do.

 - After visiting the folder, do M-x load-library RET vm-folder.el RET

 - Do M-x toggle-debug-on-error.

Then you can do whatever you need to do to get the error to occur.
Emacs should enter a debug mode and show a Backtrace.  Copy the entire
text of the Backtrace buffer and paste it into a VM bug report, which is
done by running M-x vm-submit-bug-report.

(I am assuming that you have .el files in your load-path.  If not, you
would need to load vm-folder.el from wherever the .el files are stored.)

You can go back to the Backtrace buffer and type `q' to resume your work.
