Reproduce the issue from Manage folders on Thunderbird for Android 13.0, then inspect the side panel and folder-tree handling for folders marked to show in the top group. Confirm the fix by verifying that a selected pinned folder appears in the expanded inbox side panel, while unselected folders retain their expected behavior.
