The only thing i can think of is that something happens that makes
spam-split signal an error. In that case you would see "Error in
`nnmail-split-methods'; using `bogus' mail group" in the echo area.

This is a workaround:

(defadvice spam-split (around ignore-errors activate)
  (condition-case data
      ad-do-it
    (error (message "Error in spam-split: %s" data) nil)))
