I brought up that problem a while ago on this list. As the sare rules aren't 
maintained any more I created this rule:
meta     MY_CID_BUG     MY_CID_AND_STYLE && MY_CID_AND_ARIAL2 && 
MY_CID_ARIAL_STYLE && MY_CID_AND_CLOSING && MY_CID_ARIAL2_CLOSING
describe MY_CID_BUG     when 6 MY_CID_* rules hit, correct the score
score    MY_CID_BUG     -3

After activating the rule I haven't seen any more FP. But that doesn't mean 
much. Here are my stats from yesterday:

 Rank     Hits    % Msgs   % Spam    % Ham      Score Rule
 ----     ----    ------   ------    -----      ----- ----
  347        2     0.01%    0.06%    0.22%       1.46 MY_CID_AND_ARIAL2
  371        1     0.01%    0.03%    0.02%       1.54 MY_CID_AND_STYLE
             0     0.01%    0.00%    0.02%       1.58 MY_CID_ARIAL_STYLE

Yes, looks like that.
