I need to test it further before I know for certain. Right now, I'm
not getting spam that frequently, so it's hard to tell if it's working
correctly or not.

Well, right now, the most relevant logs would be during startup.
I'll get those to you as soon as I can successfully get them.

The binary version is my last resort, both due to the fact that
running from it would mean running from an older version, and also because
it means I would lose the multiple profile capability. As for the
troubleshooting guide, given my circumstances, it tells me to report a bug,
which is - in part - what I'm doing here. I have already tried resetting
SpamBayes, as well as re-registering the add-in, with no change.

To my knowledge, the purpose of that command is so you can run an
app with admin priviledges while being logged in under a non-admin account.
That makes it equivalent to running it normally while being logged in as an
admin.
That being said, I did mention that I tried it as well, with no
change in the problem running the Trace Collector.

I'd be happy modifying the source so I get normal log behavior. If
I may ask, has instructions for this been posted anywhere? Or do I need to
try and figure it out myself?
