Aagh horrible linewrap!  When pasting logs, try and keep each line as
its own line; it makes it much easier to read.  -d misc should only add
two lines really; the queuid= one, and the score.  I see the queueid
lines, but no score.  Ah.  The score is only logged if you use the -r
flag for rejecting high-scoring mail.

Ok, definitely no spamass-milter lines for the 2nd message.  Notice
that there is no "clean message" or "identified spam" errors though, so
spamd did not complete processing the file.  What happens if you
disable bayes, or disable autolearn? (or fix that permissions problem :)
Maybe it's only failing to tag messages with a score high enough that
it tries to do a bayes update?

If that doesn't work, try adding "-d misc,spamc" to the spamass-milter
commandline.  That will log the data sent/received from spamc, so we
can see whether spamassassin really was able to process the message.
