Doing this makes clear that the condition is simply failing to see 
anything inside the message in the IMAP mailbox; it behaves as though 
the message is empty. The condition "[Any address] [is in] [the IMAP 
mailbox] [unquoted body text]" matches nothing; changing that to "is not 
in" matches everything. I created a new test message in which the 
address in the body of the message was quoted text (by replying to my 
own message), and "[Any address] [is in] [the IMAP mailbox] [quoted body 
text]" also failed exactly as though the condition sees the message as 
empty. These are true whether the test message is a draft or one I've 
actually sent to myself.

The condition can see at least some other elements of the message; 
filtering with "[Any address] [is in] [the IMAP mailbox] [From]" and 
"[Any address] [is in] [the IMAP mailbox] [To]" both work. On the other 
hand, when I put my own email address as the subject of a draft test 
message, "[Any address] [is in] [the IMAP mailbox] [Subject]" matched 
nothing, and "{is not in]" matched everything.

The IMAP mailbox is in a Gmail account, so I tried putting the test 
message in a non-Gmail IMAP mailbox just to see if this was Gmail being 
weird, but I had the same results there (though I didn't retest every 
possibility described above).

If you can suggest other tests I could run, or things I could jigger, to 
get this working, I'd be grateful! I'm running r5112.
