Well, not entirely. qmail-scanner 1.20 didn't have a definition for
$sa_symbol in the first place. So, while your patch makes sure that
the X-Spam-Level: header once again uses the asterisk instead of the
plus-symbol, it still means that qmail-scanner is meddling with this
header.

From CHANGES, I see some of the rationale behind adding the header,
but I think that qmail-scanner should no-longer bother if
verbose_spamassassin is used. In that case, SpamAssassin has already
added the X-Spam-Level: header and replacing it is IMHO not necessary.

Moreover, since the character used to indicate the level in
X-Spam-Level: is configurable in SpamAssassin's local.cf, replacing
it, breaks intended configuration of the level-indicator from there,
as well as confuses long-time users because as a result of
qmail-scanner's interference, the X-Spam-Level header gets moved way
up in the region of the 'Received:' headers instead of where
SpamAssassin puts it, at the bottom of the RFC822 header.

In short: Jason, can you please make this behaviour either optional,
or at least not happen when running verbose_spamassassin when it would
be redundant anyway?
