I thought that there was code to get rid of these, but I can't find it.
If there isn't, then yes this could happen. However:
* It's only training, not classification, since the classification
headers are definitely ignored if already present.
* The new message module does remove all existing spambayes headers,
so all the apps that use that would be safe. At the moment this is only
imapfilter (unless also pop3proxy; I can't recall), but the idea is that
all apps will use it eventually. (Although some, like the Outlook
plugin, don't touch the headers, so won't use that bit).
