I got (slightly) bitten by the same thing as the original poster:
sending some captured spam through spamassassin -t multiple times
eventually put the spammer's address on my auto-whitelist.  Oops, delete
auto-whitelist and start over.  This doesn't mean the notion of
auto-whitelisting is wrong, it's just a minor implementation oversight.

I think his suggestion was right on: don't update the auto-whitelist in
testing mode.
