Ah. When I set up crm114 it didn't have this functionality, I think, so
I wasn't aware of it. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Looking in the code, unregistering seems to be handled for bogofilter:

  (spam-install-statistical-backend 'spam-use-bogofilter
                                    'spam-check-bogofilter
                                    'spam-bogofilter-register-ham-routine
                                    'spam-bogofilter-register-spam-routine
                                    'spam-bogofilter-unregister-ham-routine
                                    'spam-bogofilter-unregister-spam-routine)

and:

  (defun spam-summary-prepare-exit ()
    (unless gnus-group-is-exiting-without-update-p
      (gnus-message 6 "Exiting summary buffer and applying spam rules")

      ;; before we begin, remove any article limits
  ;    (ignore-errors
  ;      (gnus-summary-pop-limit t))

      ;; first of all, unregister any articles that are no longer ham or spam
      [...]

Using a git-mirror of the CVS repository (thanks!!), it looks like Ted
Zlatanov added it in 2003.

If I read correctly you should see some information about unregistering
in the *Message-Log* buffer, if you set gnus-verbose high enough (like 6
or 9.)


  Best regards,
