If there are graphics files in the folder (GIF or JPG), perhaps
that is triggering the folder to be treated as a special photos folder ?
(In the lower right corner of the white space used for the folder, you'll
see a bluish icon indicating the special status.)

No, it's not the content - because once it has started to work in icons
mode (not thumbnails, I think), it stays in icons mode, even if I look
at another folder.

There is mention of a "Use this folder type as a template", and
perhaps all the photo folders (on creation) will inherit the template.

(I thought that was only in Windows 7, but I'm probably wrong.)
