Not really, 2822 says about CFWS:

That's only about 2822-header fields, and not about the
obscure X-SPAM-STATUS.
2822 covers the Internet Message Format, and specifically
notes that extension/user-defined (unlike 822, 2822 does not
officially distinguish the two distinct types) fields must
conform to the unstructured field restrictions on syntax, and
that would include the restriction on whitespace-only header
lines.
So, returning to the original question:
Is the software adding the 'X-SPAM-STATUS' line wrong
Does the software claim conformance with RFC 2822? If so, yes.
