Does this problem apply for mail that is arriving, or only when you execute the 
filter manually (from the Message Filter dialog's Run Now button, or the menu 
Run Filters on Folder)?  if the latter, this is a dupe of bug 244374.

confirming same symptoms with thunderbird Version 0.8 (20040913) on Linux, no
obvious pattern when junk status is lost and when not; remember similar
behaviour in 7.3;
remark: messages that already have their status set don't loose it, seems as if
keep/loose is determined on a per retrieve base (fails to set status when new
mail is moved to junk folder)
request: set OS to all
request: set status to NEW
