No it doesn't...

Suggestion turn on this setting in your MailScanner.conf:

Always Include SpamAssassin Report = yes

That should give us a better idea as to what's going on. My guess is that the
message in question is matching your MailScanner whitelist, which will cause the
mail to go un-marked no matter how high the spamassassin score is.
