You really meant "scam" and not spam", right? I ask because they are two
different things treated differently from Icedove.

I don't think that's intended at all (btw, it does not happen here with
TB 14) but how did you determine the problem? I mean, all of these apply?
- You tested with messages that really came from Google servers.
- Those messages were not scam at all but legitime (i.e., no suspicious
content nor embbeded html code).
- E-mails coming from different senders remain unaffected
- You opened a message locally (file → open...) and it is still being
detected as scam.
Also, take a look into this article to understand how this functionality
works:

OTOH, I find TB's ratio of false possitives for "scam" to be very low.
