I haven't tried the identify spam button, but, yes, this just recently
began for me,too. I think it began after the most recent update. I am on
a PPC Mac using OS X 10.4.11. It's an annoyance, but I hadn't gotten
around to asking about it myself yet. At least now I know it isn't just
me. (I was about to go fiddling with trashing prefs and such...)

I experience the same problem.

I am using 5.6.1 unfortunately, which I thought _was_ the fix! :)

It is easier to quit the app and relaunch, but that's a good idea. I'll
try a restart and see if the spam button behaves.
If only the <ctm request="feature">Recent Mail Window wouldn't reset
between app launches</ctm>...
FWIW, I had the same problem with non-hiding on my iBook G4, so the rest
of you PPC users aren't off the hook. :P

Actually I've found this same problem with other programs too.
I first noticed it with YEP!
I thought it was a problem with OS X 10.5.1 and have been waiting for
10.5.2 to fix it.
Didn't happen until I installed 10.5.x -
I've only seen the problem on my home machine, a quad G5..but then I use
that machine for a lot more things than my office machine where I'm
usually just running Powermail, Safari and backup software....
Not a big problem, usually a quit/launch cycle fixes it...
I've also noticed that sometimes the menu bar won't switch to the Finder
properly either....
The joys of cutting edge living....

Oh, wait. I'm only using PowerMail v5.2.2. I thought I had the latest.
So this might be some change in the OS or a supporting thing which is
causing it then. Since the problem is showing up in both 10.4.11 and
10.5.1 (at least) it must be some supporting bit which hasn't been
updated in a while? Probably not a PM problem at all -- or something
that is now becoming noticed?

Except that PowerMail is the only one that has the problem with not hiding.
It tried the restart last night and then tried to spam-button PM into
staying visible, but no luck. So the restart worked...
... till this morning. After I retrieved mail, then PM refuses to hide
again. Now I wonder if PowerMail gets tripped up if the computer goes to
sleep? or the screensaver comes on?
This new message will hide, but the main windows won't.
