First, read Mark's reply about database upgrade, and heed the notice
about upgrade being automatic but downgrade requiring a reindex of all
your mails.
Here's additional commentary on the specific queries.

These two will not match anything.

After the upgrade, this should work for .mail.voicemail/{new,cur}.
> linux10$ ./notmuch count folder:.mail.voicemail/cur
> 0
This won't match anything. To specifically search for messages in cur,
you can use the new path prefix, path:.mail.voicemail/cur
> linux 11$ ./notmuch count path:.mail.voicemail
> 0
This will match messages in .mail.voicemail only, and nothing in the cur
or new subdirectories.

I'm not sure your quoting will work, but if you don't have any other
subfolders than cur and new, this should be equal to
folder:.mail.voicemail
> linux 13$ ./notmuch count path:.mail.voicemail/cur
> 0
This should match messages in the cur subdirectory.
> linux 14$ ./notmuch count folder:mail.voicemail
> 0
This won't match anything.
BR,
