Trashing junk messages mis-teaches SpamSieve

Ouch, I'll look into this today. I keep all my junk messages (I don't get that many), so I may never have noticed this. I'm surprised no one else noticed this before (unless there is some extra variable that influences whether or not this happens). Well, I've had a report about SpamSieve not feeling as efficient as before – this could very well explain it.
I'll update this ticket later when I've looked into it.
Thank you very much for reporting this problem.

It was a general problem affecting all SpamSieve users. I recommend not deleting Junk messages until version 1.1.2 which I should probably try to get out today.
I'm very sorry about the inconvenience.

r2085 fixes this completely, Benny. My guess is that my gigantic multi-year corpus insulated me from the error for a long while; then it took a while to notice the problem; then it took a while longer to realize that the problem was MailMate and not SpamSieve.
If others are also long-time SpamSieve users and recent MailMate converts, it may explain why you've had few reports.
I reset my SpamSieve corpus when I realized there might be a problem; doing so helped me see clearly what happened when I moved spam into the Trash. I feel curiously relieved now to have a corpus of only 315 messages. :-)
Thank you so much for the quick fix. I've tested it thoroughly (including moving trashed spam messages back into Junk and trashing them again) -- and everything works exactly as expected. Hooray!
