The LocalStatus is the cache. The magicline is a header line to check
that the version of the cache is correct.

You can manually compare the magic line between working and failing
folders. It stands in

  <cache_path>/Account-<AccountName>/LocalStatus

Since you are on Windows, pay attention to the return line character in
those files:

  \n vs \r\n

You don't say what version of OfflineIMAP you're running.
