As far as I know this feature is not new but exists since a long time (years). 
It treats all messages from senders which are not on your safe senders list as 
spam and looks something like this:

Why Microsoft is sending those messages into the feedback loop is another 
question. In a perfect world there should be filters in place which 
suppress/flag reports from an account if the spam reports reach a certain 
percentage of all received emails of this account.

But this is not related to forwarding. If you send an email directly to the 
Hotmail address it will be treated in the same way. Like every other approach 
that is based purely on whitelists it creates a large amount of false positives.
