Two things here:

1) Don't you need to quote the dots (and eventually the beginning of
   the group name as well)? That is:

   (setq gnus-spam-newsgroup-contents
      '(("^nnml:mail\\.misc\\.spam" gnus-group-spam-classification-spam)
	("nnml:.*" gnus-group-spam-classification-ham)))

2) What is spam.el doing with the group nnmail:mail.misc.spam, which
   is matched by both entries? Also, is the order relevant? Can we
   expect the same result with

   (setq gnus-spam-newsgroup-contents
      '(("^nnml:mail\\.misc\\.spam" gnus-group-spam-classification-spam)
	("nnml:.*" gnus-group-spam-classification-ham)))

   and

   (setq gnus-spam-newsgroup-contents
      '(("nnml:.*" gnus-group-spam-classification-ham)
        ("^nnml:mail\\.misc\\.spam" gnus-group-spam-classification-spam)))


Thanks, Adrian
