You can turn it off with this:

(require 'cl)

(defadvice nnmail-article-group (around rra-dont-decode)
  "Don't decode headers before splitting."
  (flet ((mail-decode-encoded-word-region (start end) nil))
    ad-do-it))

(ad-activate 'nnmail-article-group)


But we should probably have a more obvious way of turning it off.  I
agree that splitting on unencoded headers is useful -- I do it myself in
.procmail.
