Indeed, as Piet said it is a buffer-local variable that is only set in the
folder buffer (which is called `vm-mail-buffer' for some reason).  So, the
correct way to do this is:

(setq default (with-current-buffer vm-mail-buffer vm-last-save-folder))
(vm-save-message 'my-other-folder)
(with-current-buffer vm-mail-buffer (setq vm-last-save-folder default))

or more simply

(with-current-buffer vm-mail-buffer
  (setq default vm-last-save-folder)
  (vm-save-message 'my-other-folder)
  (setq vm-last-save-folder default))
