This is not true. If a message is marked as spam by any filter it
will always be found in trash if it's not deleted. This is
unconditional and overrides any subsequent action taken by the filter.
The filter stops processing when the message is marked as spam
regardless of whatever actions follow "mark as spam". I see this in the
logs for every message marked as spam. Further, the message marked as
spam is unconditionally marked as read even though the filter does not
mark it as read.

I've already tried to move messages before they are marked as spam and
and as read, and they still end up in trash.
