I suspect these are intended to overload programs which work like
SpamSieve with "millions" of random 'good' words. If there are enough of
them they could eventually render SS ineffective. Your experience seems
to confirm this.

For this reason, I simply delete such random word messages rather than do
a "Mark as Spam".

That's my theory anyway 8^)
