I just ran into this myself - the AWL scanning report is simply unclear and 
causes confusion.
The issue described pops up when you run multiple tests on the same/similar 
spam. Higher bayes scores, for example, will then cause your current score to 
be higher than the averaged mean score, which result in a negative adjustment 
(delta) for the mail being scanned.

Which will look like this in the report:
-1.9 AWL                    AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list

Leading anybody not clued into the deep mechanics of the AWL into 
thinking "hey i didn't whitelist those suckers did i?"
I suggest changing the report line to something like "AWL: From: Adjustment 
towards mean score" to limit confusion.
