Quite likely.

The FORGED_MUA_* rules mainly compare the X-Mailer header with the
format of the Message-ID header.  From the mail header below, it seems
that Outlook is not generating a Message-ID at all, relying on the
next step to insert one (this behaviour is permitted by the
standards).  This suggests that this version of Outlook should be
excluded from the FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK check.

Your best bet is to open a bug at http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/
and attach a sample message (at a minimum the complete headers).
That's the best way to ensure the developers can take this into
account for future versions.
