How did you recognize it? If you just "Mark as Junk" and go to the
"information"'s page of the filter, you will see the same number as before.
Actually the it is only "marking" action, not "learning". But - the actual
learning will begin automatically after half a minute after you make your last
"mark as" action - or after you receive the last letter (because the same "mark
as" action is called from regarding procedure based on the grade). This learning
process is asynchronous. Usually it takes about a minute to be completed - and
then the regarding base will be reloaded. So, if you "mark as..." some letter,
you will see the counter changed after about at least half a minute - actually
after 1-1.5 minutes.

If you receive a junk letter (which was automatically moved to "junk folder", or
which you "mark as Junk" by button, you may check the quantity of junk mails in
the base after minute or two - but not immediately. (note, that in 2.00.15 you
even don't need to manually move the letter to the junk mail - because it will
be done together with "mark as" action - IMHO this is good new feature of
2.00.15).

Yeah, it is a small cosmetic issue. I tried to cause the filter to return a
"good" result - in the sense of CP-API - if the filter with "mark as" action
will recognize that the message is already present in the appropriate part of
the base (i.e. if you "mark as junk" the letter which was already marked as junk
before, and in the opposite case), it will return a negative answer, and The
Bat! will show that "0 letters was processed...". This is only cosmetic message
- of course, I can always return a "positive" result, and it is only small
cosmetic feature. But it still be a small bug in this feature. I'll fix it.

Thanks' for feedback!
