It appears to be a bug caused by using fnmatch(3) to perform the match.
fnmatch(3) performs glob-style matching, which treats '?', '*' AND '['
as special -- see glob(7). The workaround is to escape the []:
header :matches "subject" "*\\[spam score 10.0/10.0 -pobox\\]*"
Feel free to bugzilla this, but I doubt it'll be at the top of anyone's
list, since using fnmatch(3) is just too convenient.
