No, Not strange at all. Perfectly normal. You can't "forward" a message to a machine running spamassassin and expect it to score it properly, because none of the message headers will now be the originals, you've created a NEW message with YOUR message headers in it, and only forwarded the body of the message. On average, more of the scoring comes from the headers than the body, so most messages, even ones that are quite spammy, wont even score high enough to trip the threshold. Moral of the story - forget about forwarding spam for testing purposes....
