 There's a topic on this in the buddypress.org troubleshooting forum.(1)

 WordPress blog comments that are auto-spammed (from the comment-blacklist
 under discussion settings), are showing up in the activity stream.

 I think the problem lies in this: buddypress checks the comment's approval
 status in bp_blogs_record_comment(), (see changeset [3153]), but BP treats
 the value as a boolean. However, the wp function 'wp_allow_comment' which
 sets the comment_approved field has three return values: 0,1, and 'spam',
 and the boolean value of the string 'spam' is true.
