Folding in this context means that certain LaTeX constructs or just their markup is hidden. Since stealth font locking proceeds unpredictably, a feature that depends on it cannot be reliable. In order to get a correct fontification of the generated overlays we currently advise users to wait a few seconds after opening a LaTeX file before doing this operation in order to let stealth font locking fontify the whole buffer. That's terrible! If fontification of the whole file is fast enough that users can stand to wait for it, what you really should do is force font-locking to completion immediately.
