When creating two Google mail IMAP accounts in succession using the "Account Wizard" I found the second account was a clone of the first and did not appear in the folders list - any changes made seemed to be reflected in both. Deleting this duplicate account also removed the original from the folders list but not in the account management window. I had to restart Thunderbird to get it to show again.
Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
If I have an existing Google account selected in the accounts window before running the New Wizard this seems to reproduce the issue.

Sounds phenomenon of Bug 303542.
How did you create the Gmail IMAP accounts?
(1) Account Wizard of Tb 2
(2) Ordinal Account Wizard of Tb 3 (same one as Tb 2)
(3) Account Wizard for Gmail IMAP of Tb 3

Account Wizard for Gmail IMAP of Tb 3, which I presume is the one reached by Tools > Account settings... > Add Account... in Tb3

Did you change username setting after account definition?
If you did next, Bug 303543 occurs with Account Wizard for Gmail IMAP of Tb 3 too.
1. Create account-1 : aaa @ gmail.com
2. Change username of account-1 : aaa => bbb
3. Create account-2 : aaa @ gmail.com
=> account-2 doesn't appear in folder pane
4. Restart Tb
=> Two accounts of same name are displayed at folder pane.
Account Settings of two accounts is identical.

Bug 303542, instead of double-posted Bug 303543.

Are you sure tb2 was never involved here? Tb2 has/had(?) a bug so you can create duplicate gmail accounts with strange effects.

Magnus, Tb 3 still has problem of Bug 303542 although phenomenon is slightly different between Tb 2 and Tb 3. And, "ordinal Account Wizard for POP3/IMAP of Tb 2/Tb 3" or "Account Wizard for Gmail IMAP of Tb 3" is irrelevant to Bug 303542. My comment #5 is check result with latest Tb trunk(1.9.1).

Tb2 was uninstalled while I used another mail app, but kept some account settings. However I wasn't editing existing accounts or changing usernames, just adding new (never set up before in Tb2/3) IMAP accounts.

Did you define account with servername=imap.gmail.com or change servername of an account to imap.gmail.com in the past? ("IMAP or not", "successful or not" is irrelevant)
Are there multiple mail.server.serverX.xxxx entries for same name?
(xxxx : hostname, realhostname, userName, realuserName)
Is there any mail.server.serverX.xxxx entry which is not pointed by anyone?
(mail.account.accountN.server=serverX => mail.server.serverX.xxxx)
Can you reproduce your problem with newly created profile and by "just adding new IMAP accounts"?
Note:
Procedure of comment #5 successfully generates duplicated accounts always.
