        Hi,
run evolution from a terminal like this:

   $ CAMEL_DEBUG=junk evolution

and then repeat the steps. It will show you why the message had been
marked as spam on delivery. I hope in your old version too. Clicking
Not Junk button should produce some info as well.

Whether visually "anything happens" when you click that button in a
Junk folder depends on several things. One of them being whether the
Junk folder is a real folder or virtual. There's a settings for it in
the Defaults tab for your IMAP account Properties. When it's a virtual
folder then marking message as not Junk simply means to unset a flag on
the message (apart of telling the spam software that the message is
ham), which removes the message from the Junk folder and shows it in
its original folder (where it is all the time). When the Junk folder is
a real folder then there's no information where the message belongs,
thus Evolution doesn't know where to move it. At least in your version.
The latest version moves the message to the Inbox.

I recall there had been a bug about having set the Junk flag
"accidentally" by evolution when received. I do not have the bug link
handy, but I do not recall seeing anything like that with the recent
version.
        Bye,
