I expect it is picking up on the "YES" contained in "BAYES_00". I don't
use .forward for filtering in this way, but if you can modify your
rule to check if X-Spam-Status: begins with "Yes" instead of contains
"Yes", that might solve your problem.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't happen before or why it's not case
sensative...of course I could be completely wrong. :-)
