Tom,

What version are you using?  Older versions of bogofilter _did_ boundary
strings to the wordlist.  The behavior has been changed and current
versions do not do that.  

If I remember correctly, the problem was fixed in September or October. 
Your wordlist entries are older than that.

If you're using 0.15.7 or newer and still having a problem, let me know.

HTH,

David
