I am seeing it in about PT> 2% of my email, much more than I would expect statistically. Yes, there is a tendency in versions 2.6x for Bayes to "pull" toward Bayes_99, Bayes_00, and Bayes_50. This was one of the changes in results that took place in migrating from the version 2.5x algorithm to the version 2.6x algorithm. In 2.5x the pull (if there was one) was much less pronounced.
