This works for me.

macro index S '<enter-command>set my_folder=`mutt-prompt "Save to folder" \\`; 
push <refresh><save-message>$my_folder\<enter\><sync-mailbox><enter>'

Be sure to enter it in only one line.  The backslashes are wacky, but so
are mutt's quoting rules.  This is no typo; it really does work on my
system.

A "mutt-prompt" script is required; see attachment.
