You can match missing subjects using a SpamSieve blocklist rule.
Leaving the field blank will match a subject that's present but
empty. To match a missing subject, enter "<SpamSieve-Unknown-Subject>".

I would suggest creating these kind of manual rules using SpamSieve's
blocklist rather than PowerMail rules. Then:
* From the hit count, you'll be able to see which rules are having
an effect.
* If a rule puts a good message in the spam folder, you'll be able
to see which one was responsible.
* When you mark the mail as good, the offending rule will
automatically be disabled.
