If that is true, then there is at least a bug in the documentation.
The cutoff is mentioned but says it is set at compile time. Indeed I
see no option to tweak it at run-time. Sounds unimportant. It's like
a steering wheel installed in the engine compartment. You must stop
and pop the hood to change directions. Not too user friendly.

Or at least clue them in that they need adjust it. I didn't know this
either. A run-time option and some documentation would be important
for me where I want to let many users use the same bogofilter binary
on their different mail. Maybe stick it in a config file so it
doesn't need to be specified for each run...
Wait, I just looked in config.c and there is a "spam_cutoff" so maybe
it is already there. But I still can't find the documentation of how
to use it.
