The header fields with names beginning with X-SA-Exim- are added by SA-Exim 
before passing the mail to spamc. They have nothing to do with local.cf. When 
the processed mail comes back, SA-Exim unfortunately can't just replace the 
entire mail header with a single function call. Instead it checks for 
X-Spam-* fields and adds those, as well as changing the Subject if it has 
been rewritten.

The only header field that should be affected by "version_tag spike1" is 
X-Spam-Version. Have you checked that?
