I thought I'd try to just strip them from incoming mail so I used deleteheader, I got a trace saying it matches and deletes the headers, then sends the mail off to spamc/spamd - but the message that ends up in my mailbox has the headers that were presumably deleted.

I cannot reproduce this with master. Keep and implicit keep act the 
same. My filter program successfully changes the message and the 
deleteheader commands properly drop the indicated headers.

What version is this? What is your configuration (output from `dovecot -n`)
