Great, many things to try 
The LiveUpdate installer is a bit weird though... I terminated explorer.exe before updating TLB, and still it complained about system files that were in use (and reboot required), which is rubbish
I ignored that and simply launched explorer.exe again and the latest TLB version was there...
I've been playing with this one...
* Dragging "Control Panel" into "My Computer" (both virtual folders), nothing happened at all
* Dragging "Control Panel" into "My Documents" resulted in a new folder entry in "My Documents" named "Control Panel" containing a namespace.fld file
* Dragging "My Documents" into "My Documents" resulted in some scary unpainted (mostly black) window, and then the entire folder was gone! I had dragged the folder off the main toolbar, onto itself, so it got somehow swallowed by itself...
* Choosing "New" inside "My Computer" only gave me the options Title and Separator...
* Choosing "New" inside "My Documents" allowed me to create a virtual folder inside "My Documents" and this worked fine!
So, in conclusion, some folders seem to be 'more' virtual than others...
Virtual TLB folders that are mapped to physical Windows folders (like "My Documents" or "Program Files") can contain another virtual folder entry, but not by dragging it into it...
Virtual TLB folders that are mapped to virtual Windows folders (like "Network connections" and "My computer") cannot contain another virtual folder...
