Evolution decides which emails to filter based on the IMAP flags set by
the server (on a per message basis).  Past versions have been very
strict about what combination of flags were needed before filtering
would take place.  Evolutions combination of flags was different to
those required by Thunderbird, so it appeared that Evolution was
failing.

This has been changed in the development version of Evolution, and its
behaviour should be much closer to Thunderbird.  There is a bug in the
GNOME bugzilla to track this:
