Are we talking about messages that have been processed through spamd but not marked, or ones that somehow bypassed spamd altogether? I find an occasional message gets missed by spamd when I *restart* it to pick up on new rules.... :-)

Spamd does see the message (I verified by looking for the message ID in the debug output), and the message appears to run through spamd fine, but it lands in my mailbox with no markup.
You are forgetting that there are two pieces here, spamc and spamd. spamc has a timeout. I believe it works like this.
spamc sends the message to spamd. If spamd doesn't finish in time, spamc goes ahead and releases the message unchanged. This doesn't shut down spamd, which continues to process, and log its actions, but when it tries to respond to spamc, the other end of the socket is gone.
True. Spamd is easiest to follow through debugging messages, though. In looking at the logs for spamd (see the original email), I don't see any particular delays. The entire message appears to be processed in around 2 seconds, including the RBLs.
So, unless something's breaking in between spamd and spamc, it appears that the message is getting returned in around 2 seconds, based on the spamd logs. I don't see spamd processes hanging around longer than that, so I'm pretty doubtful that anythings handing.
On my production machine, if I get a surge of email, or after restarting SA, I sometimes see processing times go into the tens of seconds. If so, spamc still waits paitently.
I'm going to watch the spamd/spamc communication with ngrep for a while... that should confirm what traffic is being passed.
