As soon as I set some RBLs in Spam List then all hell breaks out and I get a huge amount of FPs.  Within the MailScanner code if a RBL lookup fails ie. timesout does it get marked as Spam ?

No. I have had this situation arise myself, and it certainly didn't mark 
messages as spam.
When you say it marks it as spam, does the name of the dead RBL get 
added to the list of RBLs it thinks it found the message in?
