Patrick, Have you checked your other filters and are sure none of them are firing on those messages? I've had no problems with the "Skip Inbox" working for me, in fact this thread has been skipping it perfectly as it was set to do. We have to remember that according to Google, all filters, including spam, act upon a message at once, and if they have contradictory actions, might cause unexpected results. I've had a couple filters that did things like that, acted on messages I didn't intend, and found through experimentation which they were. Then when I edited the filters to not hit the posts I didn't want them to hit, the problem went away.
