I ran a test and registered on my own and it worked fine.
When I looked at the approved accounts a couple of them were .ru email addresses so obviously they were spammers. But when I went to stopforumspam.com I couldn't find any reference to them.
I don't think the blocked accounts were legit by any means, but they said they were allowed. Would indicate to me there is a bug in the process some where.
I am running 3.8.3

The first question is are you moderating new members? I would advise you to if you aren't. If you are, when they see that it requires a second step to register, they realize that you are moderating new members and do not finish the registration process for fear of being discovered. They got that far because they were NOT in the SFS database. I've said it before and I'll say it again; All spammers are not in the database so you need to investigate them if they (new registrants) look suspicious. They aquire new e-mails and IPs all of the time. SFS does not have EVERY spammer listed which is why they count on us to report them. It also pays to check against other anti-spam sites too as a back up to SFS. There are several.
