What version of SpamAssassin are you running?  Here's a note from that
rule's definition (rulesrc/sandbox/kb/20_header.cf):

# NOTE  Depends on some header rule code fixes for 3.3.x to remove
#       the leading space that was showing up in header rules.  For
#       3.2.x releases the pattern must be changed to /^ \t/.

Karsten:  Maybe change it to   /^ ?\t/   as a workaround?
(Yes, I know we've stopped supporting sa3.2.x)
