I'd say that clicking 'mark as not spam' simply moves the message from the Spam folder into your Inbox. I doubt there's any magic behind it.
What you could check in addition is the mail header. Save a copy of the spam mail while it's marked as spam, then mark it as not spam and save another copy and 'diff' it with the first one. If indeed the X-SPAM headers were removed in the second one, then my first statement is wrong.
