Do you use spam-split?  What does it say about that e-mail in
*Messages*, if you noted it?  What is your split sequence, if any?  What
do you use to recognize spam/ham?  How do you train your anti-spam program?  

You need to add a ham exit processor to your spam group to get ham in it
actually processed as such.  You can also add a ham move processor that
will move ham you see out automatically to your INBOX (preferrably to a
non-split mailbox actually, since you know it's ham, e.g. INBOX.mail if
that works for you).

Your sequence then will be:

(you) enter spam group
(you) see ham in spam group
(you) mark with ! flag (any ham flag will do)
(you) quit spam group
-> spam.el -> applies ham processor to ham
-> spam.el -> moves ham to INBOX.mail

Does that make sense?  You can customize the ham move group and the ham
processor with `G c' on your spam group or through gnus-parameters.
