I decided to see if I could answer my own question by doing some digging.

The file OpenMetaverseTypes/Enums.cs of libOpenMetaverse is where you can 
find "public enum AssetType" where it has Folder=8 as a "collection of 
inventory items" and RootFolder=9 as the "Root inventory folder".

This was changed in commit #f48c9922 by John Hurliman with a date/timestamp 
of 2009-04-09 01:17:40. This situation has existed for just over 6 years. I 
haven't yet found the reason for the change. The earliest history of the 
file in question is a commit dated May 11, 2009 that states: "Moving 
OpenMetaverseTypes library to its own folder. This will save a lot of 
prebuild headaches".

I will have to do more searches to see if there is any earlier history 
available somewhere for libOMV.

Without using pulling up WinGridProxy to check, is 8 the number used to 
identify root inventory folders in Second Life?
