There is no code in SpamBayes that can do this (since it's open-
source, you can check if you like). The configuration wizard will
create a folder named (exactly) "Junk E-Mail" if you wish, or you can
manually create folders in the folder dialogs, but there's otherwise
no code to create folders. "Junk E-mail1" isn't anywhere in the code
base.

The most likely explanation is that these users have something else
installed that is doing this (perhaps a previous spam filter).
Perhaps you and Terry could work together to figure out what the
common denominator is.
To demonstrate that it's not SpamBayes, if you disable SpamBayes (or
uninstall it), you will find that the behaviour continues. (Of
course, you'll have to deal with spam some other way while you wait
for it ;)
