I have:

When I get a message though, I see autolearn being set to 'no':

X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=18.7 required=4.8 tests=BAYES_99,BAYES_999,
 FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVD2,FREEMAIL_FROM,FREEMAIL_REPLYTO_END_DIGIT,
 LOCALPART_IN_SUBJECT,TVD_SPACE_RATIO,TVD_SPACE_RATIO_MINFP,
 USER_IN_BLACKLIST_TO autolearn=no autolearn_force=no version=3.4.0

Shouldn't a score of 18.7 trigger an autolearn?

Not all rules contribute to the score used for the autolearn decision. Particularly, the BAYES rules don't contribute to the autolearning decision in order to avoid positive feedback loops.
