The issue is that bayes expiry is broken under some circumstances
as evidenced by this listing of my bayes database area, possibly
because its taking more than 10 minutes, or possibly because there
is a bug in the code

I had thought that you would want to know about it.
What I want is to allow expiry to happen opportunistically without
having to set "bayes_auto_expire 0" and run an "sa-learn --force-expire"
every hour, but that does not appear to be possible. That being the case
perhaps a note in the documentation would do the trick. Something to warn
people that on high volume sites they cannot afford to allow bayes to run
in its default mode of operation.
