Okay, here is a quick idea I didn't think about too much yet - it just came 
into my mind. What about having a tristate for the folder's options:
- default (i.e. the gloabl setting)
- off (locally overwritten no matter what is set globally)
- on (locally overwritten no matter what is set globally)

It allows both scenarios described by Ingo and it's (IMHO) pretty clear for 
the user. I just don't know whether it's conform to the guidelines.

Just my ¤0.02.
Andreas
