My recollection is that "ignore our own tag" was a method to avoid forged 
headers.  Any X-Bogosity lines in the headers of a message coming into 
bogofilter don't belong there.  Having bogofilter delete them is done so 
that the final recipient of the message doesn't get spam with a forged 
"X-Bogosity: No" header line.

I understood you to say that when a message with an "X-Bogosity:" header 
line is forwarded, the "X-Bogosity:" line causes a problem.  As it isn't in 
the header, there shouldn't be a problem - except for a MUA that checks for 
"X-Bogosity" without caring where in the message it is.  Such a MUA will 
have _lots_ of trouble with _this_ message.
