Well, I can just guess what you use and what you see.

Where does it happen? Maildir? Online IMAP? Disconnected IMAP? 
Do you use sqlite or mysql as the akonadi backend?

I saw this bug with sqlite.

And some people report it for online imap (with mysql). I never could 
reproduce it, but with another user we tried to debug and I gave a patch to 
try out, if helps, but didn't hear back  yet (this was in the past days).

So it is a local maildir. Look at the akonadi processes and tell me if you 
see akonadi_maildir_resource or akonadi_mixedmaildir_resource running. Also 
tell me if you use sqlite or mysql.

There was a bug, but to my knowledge it is fixed (also in KDE 4.7, in KDE 
4.8 it is for sure).

Both can have multiple causes. Running akonadi from a console (akonadictl 
restart) and doing the same for kmail might reveal some errors. 
Some questions here as well:
- does the filter work if you apply manually on a mail (ctrl-j on a message)
- enable Tools->Filter log viewer, and see how your filters are applied. 
Also check that they indeed move the mails to the right folder.
- is the mail moved in the file system itself when you manually move?
