No, but that is because it is pretty uncommon (AFAIK) for people to use the 
"Train" box on the main page.  Since we recommend against training in bulk (see 
<http://entrian.com/sbwiki/TrainingIdeas>) few people find the need to use it.

However, I believe if people did use this function, then it would be common 
(see below).

It's written in the current working directory.  Where that might be for you, 
I'm not sure.  You can probably set the shortcut that starts SpamBayes to 
change the CWD to somewhere else (like the temp folder) and that should fix the 
problem.

This has been fixed in CVS (it's fixed in 1.1a1, but that's pretty broken for 
sb_server, so you'd need to wait for 1.1a2 or use source from CVS), so that 
these files don't get written out when using the "Train" box (they are added to 
the corpus caches instead, which is the proper action).
