I repeated the experiment (collected both evo and imap logs). I made
following steps:

0) Created filter for evolution-list
1) subscribed to evolution-list via web.
   visible result: confirmation request message was filtered
   and displayed with line through in inbox.
2) confirmed subscription with link via web.
   visible result: welcome message was filtered but has no line
   trhough.
3) exited evolution.
4) launched evolution again
   visible result: both confirmation and welcome messages are in
   inbox. no line through on request confirmation message.

So Evolution seems to apply filters to both messages.
