This is because OE doesn't have sophisticated filtering rules - right?

I think you're onto something there. Have you talked to the SA people
about this - you seem to have valid points.

What about if the "***SPAM***" string added to Subject lines was more
like "***SPAM-low***", "***SPAM-medium***" and "***SPAM-high***"? Could
OE filter on that?

No - Qmail-Scanner operates correctly with spamc - perhaps you've
misunderstood what it does? Don't forget "fast_spamassassin" runs 
"spamc -c" and only cares for the score - no other aspect of what
headers/whatever that SA can do to the e-mail applies. If you want the
"full force" of SA alterations applied, then you have no option but to
run "verbose_spamassassin" - then you get all the extra headers/etc.
