In case someone is experiencing the same, I found a solution after
experimenting.

I moved server variables to the definition of the IMAP select method,
and removed `nnimap-split-fancy':

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
(require 'spam)
(setq spam-split-group "SPAM"
      spam-use-regex-headers t
      spam-use-bogofilter t
      nnmail-mail-splitting-decodes t
      nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
      nnmail-split-fancy
      '(| (: spam-split 'spam-use-regex-headers)
          (from ".*dovecot.*" "System")
          (to ".*ecolog-l.*" "Ecolog-L")
          (from ".*mammal-l.*" "Mammal-L")
          (to ".*mammal-l.*" "Mammal-L")
          (: spam-split))
      gnus-select-method
      '(nnimap "sluque"
               (nnimap-address "kolob.subpolar.dyndns.org")
               (nnimap-stream ssl)
               (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
               (nnimap-split-methods default)))
 (spam-initialize)
