I'm pretty sure this is not a problem with spam.el, but either with
your configuration or with another part of Gnus (maybe the agent?)

Put this:

(debug (spam-list-articles gnus-newsgroup-articles 'spam))

at line 1296 of spam.el, just before 

    ;; do the non-moving backends first, then the moving ones
    (dolist (backend-type '(non-mover mover))

Then do M-x eval-buffer, and try to repeat the behavior.

When you quit the summary, you'll see a buffer that will show you the
list of spam-marked messages.  At least one, the one you marked as
spam, should be in it, represented as an integer.  If it's not,
something is very wrong with your gnus-newsgroup-articles.  Or maybe
you've customized your spam-marks variable, though no one has ever
done that to my knowledge...

I've spent hours testing this, and I simply can't find the bug you
describe.  I don't doubt your experience, but it's very difficult to
debug a problem that I can't duplicate.  Maybe you should try
debugging the spam-summary-prepare-exit function yourself or get
someone local that knows Emacs well to help you.

(to undo the changes above, undo them in spam.el and do M-x
eval-buffer again)
