I'm not sure which difference is affecting you - comparing SA logs could tell.

Here are two guesses:

If the mail body is the same across several messages (regardless of headers),
amavisd may cache and reuse results of spam and virus checks, so perhaps
you are seeing this effect. To turn off spam caching you may set to zero
config variables $spam_check_negative_ttl and $spam_check_positive_ttl
(with later versions of amavisd-new).

Plugins may also be affected by the fact that SA is initialized only
once in the master process, and each child process then continues with
already initialized SA. This is exactly the same as with spamc/spamd,
but differs from command line invocations of spamassassin.

It probably does not affect your immediate problem, but lots of
improvements and new experience went into the product in three years
time (and into SA since 3.0.3 to 3.1.7). Some details have changed
and collective memory about details on versions you run are gradually
fading, so help is scarcer. Developing new plugins for an old version
makes you unable to use newly developed mechanisms (API etc), and/or
that you re-do your work to make it useful for others running current 
versions. And a general issue: you wouldn't run a month-old version
of a virus checker, so what makes one think that spam and other expoit
techniques are not changing as fast as virus scanning engines.
