No, it's been there for a couple of releases I think.  The asterisk

goes away if you visit the folder and comes back when a new message

arrives.  The only thing is that it's not a very obvious change - at

least with some icon sets.  Perhaps there needs to be an option to 

make it more obvious - for example to change the colour of the folder 

text or something like that.

As I say, it makes the folder title boldface. Otherwise there's no

change (not just "not very obvious" but none whatever).

No, it's different to making the folder bold.

The folder title being bold is determined by whether there are any unread messages in the folder, even if the folder has been visited. The asterisk in the folder icon appears if messages have arrived since the folder was last opened.

Some examples below (and sorry for the HTML mail!).  My spam folder before visiting it:

Spam folder after visiting, but not reading anything:

So you can see if messages have arrived without remembering how many unread messages you had previously.
