Splitting mail -- XEmacs 21.4 vs 21.5

Now, you'd think that the exact same Gnus mail splitting rules would
split mail into the same groups regardless of XEmacs version.  But
you'd be wrong!

Here are my split rules:

(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
      nnmail-message-id-cache-length 5000
      nnmail-crosspost nil
      nnmail-split-fancy
      '(| 
	;; Tiffany is highest priority.
	(any "ms_tamber at hotmail\\.com" "private.Tiffany")
	;; SPAM...
	;; Most people put their spam splits after their mailing
	;; lists and stuff.  I think this is the wrong way to do it,
	;; because you'd still get heaps of spam in your mailing list
	;; groups.
	("X-Spam-Flag" "Yes" "SPAM.spamassassin")
 	("Content-Type" content-spam "SPAM.content")
  	("Content-Transfer-Encoding" encoding-spam "SPAM.encoding")
  	("Subject" subject-spam "SPAM.subjects")
  	(from author-spam "SPAM.authors")
  	("Received" domain-spam "SPAM.domains")
	("Keywords" keyword-spam "SPAM.keywords")
	;; XEmacs stuff I want to disappear.
	(to "xemacs-\\(people\\|request\\|users\\|webmaint\\|winnt\\|nt\\)+ at xemacs\\.org"
	    "SPAM.xemacs")
	(to "youngs at xemacs\\.org" "SPAM.xemacs")
	;; Bounces
	(from mail "returned.mail")
	;; Log files
	("Subject" 
	 "\\(Logs:.*\\|Mail Stats\\|eicq Daily Usenet\\|var/log/.*\\)" "private.logs")
	;; Mailing lists 
	(any "\\(eicq\\|mh-e\\|bbdb\\|tramp\\|xemacs\\)-\\b\\(\\w+\\)@\\(\\(lists\\.\\)?\\(sf\\|sourceforge\\)\\.net\\|\\(mail\\.freesoftware\\.fsf\\|gnu\\|nongnu\\|xemacs\\)\\.org\\)"
	     "\\1.\\2")
	(from "noreply at sourceforge\\.net" "eicq.admin")
	(from "mailman-owner at lists\\.\\(sf\\|sourceforge\\)\\.net"
	      "eicq.admin")
	(any "ding@\\(hpc\\.uh\\.edu\\|gnus\\.org\\)" "gnus.ding")
	(to "cvslog at quimby\\.gnus\\.org" "gnus.cvs")
	(from "freshmeat-news" "freshmeat.news")
	(from "Administrator at jobnet\\.com\\.au" "employment")
	(from "subscriber\\.email at jobs\\.jobserve\\.com" "employment")
	(any "icq-devel" "icq.devel")
	(any "sql-ledger-users" "sql.ledger")
	(any "inn-workers" "inn.workers")
	(any "linux-kernel at vger\\.kernel\\.org" "linux.kernel")
	;; To me, personally
	(to 
	 "steve$\\|steve@\\(localhost\\|eicq\\.dnsalias\\.org\\)"
	 "private.local")
	(to "\\(sr\\)?youngs\\(_steve\\)?@\\(bigpond\\.net\\.au\\|tux\\.org\\|users\\.sourceforge\\.net\\|yahoo\\.co\\.uk\\)" "private.net")
	;; Catch all
	"INBOX"))

In XEmacs 21.4.15 everything goes where you'd expect it to go.

In XEmacs 21.5.16 (+CVS-20040227) everything goes to INBOX.

Those settings above used to work for me in 21.5, but unfortunately it
has been so long since I last used 21.5 that I can't tell you when it
last worked.  Sorry. :-(

I wonder what's gone a-drift in 21.5?  Nothing in the ChangeLogs
really jumps out at me.
