REAPER has a "group" function for grouping items like that. If you group them, they move as a unit. REAPER doesn't assume that everything in a folder is automatically grouped. This gives folders much more power in general.
If you group the clips, you can move them as a unit, and folders continue to work as always.
You can select tracks in a collapsed folder by clicking on the skinny invisible track in the TCP, but it's not good for a whole lot. You can delete tracks from a closed folder this way. You can access the right-click menu for tracks.
But on the clip side, nothing happens. If anything, I would vote for the clips moving in their miniature state just like normal. This would be consistent, allow folders the multiple uses they currently have, and provide you and others with that feature by merely grouping the items, before or after putting them in a folder.
Or, for safety's sake, perhaps closed-folder items should ONLY move if they are grouped. A group is a different color, even in a folder, and is as visible as your color scheme allows. And if it's more than two tracks or so, it's big enough to grab and drag.
I think it's reasonable to assume if someone tried to drag a single little 3-pixel clip around in a closed folder track, that it's as likely a mouse accident as it is someone getting the most tracks on screen.
