If your user_role is set to administrator, Akismet will always return a false response. Are you running any other anti-spam plugins?
When you hover over a comment that was marked as spam, a history link should appear. Can you look in your spam folder for a comment that was made by an admin, click that link, and post the history?
Alternatively, you can send that to us directly here: https://akismet.com/contact/
I’m having the same issue. Looking at the at the comment history it is first marked as cleared by Akismet then marked as spam.
In the DB the comment_meta values are:
akismet_result
false
akismet_history
a:3:{s:4:"time";d:1436986563.9789519;s:5:"event";s:9:"check-ham";s:4:"user";s:4:"rabble";}
a:3:{s:4:"time";d:1436986563.9795001;s:5:"event";s:19:"status-changed-spam";s:4:"user";s:4:"rabble";}

@deekthesqueak, what other comment related plugins are you running? Try disabling them to see if the problem persists.
I tried turning off the one plugin that is even closely related to being a comment plugin and the same behavior is happening.
Here is a summary of the behavior.
* As admin edit comments
* Click reply for specific comment
* Enter message and click reply
Comment is save and marked Cleared by Akismet, however comment status is spam. Comment history shows
Comment status was changed to spam. (Newest entry)
Akismet cleared this comment. (Oldest entry)

How about the comment blacklist in your Dashboard > Settings > Discissions, have anything in there?

Try disabling *all* other plugins except Akismet and see if you see the same results.
It looks like there was a problem with it and reCAPTCHA 4.1 even though there isn’t a CAPTCHA on the editing of comment as an admin.
