Sure, I'll take a look.  Maybe spam-bogofilter-force-reclassify?

The upcoming spam.el changes will track messages as they are processed
as ham or spam.  You will be able to force spam.el to recognize that a
message has already been processed as spam/ham by a certain backend
spam/ham processor, so force-reclassify will not be needed.  These
changes won't happen soon, though, so your patch would be literally a
patch in the meanwhile :)
