(Get the code!)
I was about to create a new item for this but see it's already been flagged in 2010.
I think maintaining a quick filter "per folder" is good, but honestly, I'd be OK if just the "Sent" folder was special. As the OP said, it makes no sense to filter on "Sender" in the "Sent" folder. Those were sent by.. me! However, I would typically want "Sender" in other folders and occasionally "Recipients". I'd be OK if those were per-folder, or just used the last search types for all non "Sent" folders (which might be easier to code).
I typically need to do quicksearch between Inbox, latest saved month and Sent folders and during a typical day it means toggling between Sender and Recipients for every search task, multiple times as I change folders and search criteria until I find what I'm looking for. Worst is to forget to toggle the buttons and realize I need to go back and redo the searches.
