remove non-standard flags

Having relocated my virtual folders to a new namespace - I'm having some
subscription challenges. I'm able to reach them via telnet without
issue - and some clients have better luck than others. Some folders
have no problems at all - some seem different.
In trying to identify what might be the issue - at the moment the only
thing I'm seeing is the ones that are completely without issue don't
have any "weird" flags.
Example: an apparently "clean" virtual folder:
. select virtual/Flagged
* OK [CLOSED] Previous mailbox closed.
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft
$Forwarded \*)] Flags permitted.
* 12 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 7] First unseen.
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1535841027] UIDs valid
* OK [UIDNEXT 13] Predicted next UID
* OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 3] Highest
. OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed (0.316 + 0.000 + 0.315 secs).
This folder is recognized by all clients. But this one:
. select virtual/INBOX
* OK [CLOSED] Previous mailbox closed.
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded junk $MDNSent)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft
$Forwarded junk $MDNSent \*)] Flags permitted.
* 9540 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 85] First unseen.
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1535841672] UIDs valid
* OK [UIDNEXT 9541] Predicted next UID
. OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed (44.266 + 0.000 + 44.265 secs).
Is a little more troublesome. And then...
. select virtual/Archives
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $MDNSent unknown-0
unknown-2 unknown-3 unknown-5 unknown-9 unknown-4 $Forwarded unknown-7
unknown-8 junk $NotJunk $label5)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $MDNSent
unknown-0 unknown-2 unknown-3 unknown-5 unknown-9 unknown-4 $Forwarded
unknown-7 unknown-8 junk $NotJunk $label5 \*)] Flags permitted.
* 142605 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 82998] First unseen.
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1535841824] UIDs valid
* OK [UIDNEXT 142606] Predicted next UID
. OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed (10.217 + 0.000 + 10.217 secs).
I can't get Thunderbird to recognize it all (though RoundCube web client
works).
There very well may be something totally separate from the flags that's
causing the problem, but, is there a way to strip the flags off? I tried:
doveadm flags remove -u <username> '$MDNSent unknown-0 unknown-2
unknown-3 unknown-5 unknown-9 unknown-4 unknown-7 unknown-8 junk
$NotJunk $label5' mailbox 'inbox/Archive/2004'
since that's one of the source folders of the virtual folder - no error,
but no apparent change. Same for operating on the virtual folder directly.
