Problem with sieve not triggering randomly?

I'm running CentOS 7.1 with Dovecot 2.2.10 (CentOS packaged version). I
have Postfix feeding messages to Dovecot for local delivery via LMTP,
and I have Amavisd for spam filtering. For messages above a certain
threshold, Amavisd adds the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header, and I file that
into the Spam folder using a default (system-wide) sieve script (there
aren't any per-user sieve scripts set up):
require "fileinto";
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
fileinto "Spam";
}
I can see it work on my test messages and from lmtp log entries.
However, it doesn't seem to always work. I had a user complain about a
spam increase, and I looked in their mailbox. I see a message with the
"X-Spam-Flag: YES" header, but it is in the INBOX (and the corresponding
lmtp log entry shows that's where it went).
Why would the sieve script work on some messages and not others? I
don't see any errors in the log. I see a bunch of messages from the
same source to different users, and they were all filed into INBOX, not
Spam.
Looking at the message in question, it is a pretty bogus message. There
are multiple From: and Subject: headers. Would that cause sieve to
"punt" on the message (but not log anything about it)?
