Ok, now doing
M-:  (re-search-forward "\\[POSIBLE SPAM\\]" nil t)
in a spam group which contains a message with this subject, finds this
message. However putting

   ("Subject" "\\[POSIBLE SPAM\\]" "SPAM.POSS")
into nnimap-split-fancy function, does not find this message that is
it is passed to the next entry the spam-split function.

I tried to run edebug on nnimap-split-fancy, but nothing useful came
out.

I am really puzzled, is there somewhere a bug?
