Sorry for the extensive quoting, there's a lot of context here.

I remember we tested this, and the complete message was indeed fed to
bogofilter, according to a debug statement.  But maybe I was wrong.  I
remember some narrow/widen issues with IMAP, but I thought I had fixed
those.

Try replacing spam-bogofilter-path (which is normally the path to
bogofilter) with the path to something like this (save this script
anywhere and make it executable):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

open SAVE,">/tmp/bogofilter.input" or die "Could not save output: $!";

while (<>)
{
 print SAVE $_;
}

Then look at the /tmp/bogofilter.input file and see if it matches the
message we're trying to classify.  You can see what bogofilter would
have said about it, too, if you do

bogofilter -v /tmp/bogofilter.input

Thanks
