I run imapfilter with this filter on the same server:

filter foo or
  header date "aaa"
  header date "bbb"
  header date "mon"
action list

I got:

...

debug: sending command: F00006 SEARCH OR (HEADER "date" "aaa") OR (HEADER
"date" "bbb") (HEADER "date" "mon")

* SEARCH 2 3 9
F00006 OK SEARCH completed.

...


Are you sure that there are messages that should match your filters in the
mailboxes you are searching?

Could it be that the mailserver you are trying is not the latest version
and has a bug in its searching mechanism?

Just some thoughts...
