~f does work on my machine (Tested with <limit>~f t...@example.org /and/ with 'score'). The "From" header (yahoo group) looks similar to yours:
From: "t...@example.com [abcusers]" <badema...@yahoogroups.com>
We're using the same version of mutt (Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15));
maybe you have a syntax error in your scores and/or conflicting rules?
-F
