This is caused by the spam-generate-fake-headers function, which will
use the overview data to build fake headers when possible.

See if you can find what's causing the nil data header by tracing
through the spam-find-spam function.  It calls
(spam-generate-fake-headers article) when possible.

It should.  What does `G p' show for the group in question?

With spam-autodetect, all headers of hitherto unseen messages are
checked when you enter a group, but spam.el tries to do it without
retrieving the whole article.  That's the reason for the whole
spam-generate-fake-headers rigamarole.
