Reply rules use a seperate reply template message, which isn't stored as part of the rule itself, and so migrating a reply rule will leave you with a non-functional rule once again.
The easiest way to migrate rules from one mailbox to another is by using Outlook itself. Outlook provides a way to export your rules to a file, then later import them. Offhand, I don't know if Outlook will let you migrate rules to a different mailbox, or if you're required to re-import back into the same mailbox (sort of a backup/restore for your own rules).
Note that there is no way to execute rules that don't actually exist in the mailbox. Server-side execution of rules happens *only* during delivery, and Outlook can only "re-run" rules that it can find in your mailbox.
Kevin: there is a known problem with that popular non-WM mobile device wrecking OOF rules. Call them up. We've already alerted them to their bug. There's also a rare problem on our end (in general) which should be fixed in SP1.
