In my experience, what happens is that with 'hide on autolaunch' enabled, you don't get notified (unless you have mail waiting at log in) until you open the mailbox at least once; after that you get notified even if you've re-hidden your mailbox. This is on 2.1, and though I haven't systematically checked the pattern, it has held every time that I've remembered to look for it; your mileage may vary.
