Sure, but there are better ways of dealing with junk than manually
writing filters within Evolution for it. Both the spamfilters that
Evolution uses have blacklists - in other words everything from those
addresses are marked as junk.

Well life isn't always what we expect.

Perhaps it's a bug. Perhaps no one has ever tried to have that many
conditions before.

Try splitting the conditions into two rules - or better, twelve rules
(that's assuming the conditions are 'OR').  If it works with fewer
conditions, then file a bug - silently doing the wrong thing is a bug.
