Confirming here, on Ubuntu 8.10. I never saw this bug on Ubuntu 7.10/8.04.
I'm using search folders backed by an IMAP email account.
For search folders, I can increase the "unread message count" by:
1. Selecting all messages in the search folder, with Ctrl-A.
2. Marking them all as unread, using "Mark as Unread".
3. Deselecting all messages.
4. Reselecting all messages in the search folder, with Ctrl-A.
5. Marking them all as read, using "Mark as Read".
At this point the "unread message count" seems to increase :).
I can't seem to get the counts of "unread messages" back to zero again...
Incidentally, I've cleared out my Evolution config and recreated it from scratch a couple of times. However, the bug eventually reappears after a day or two.
