I agree, but I think it will be hard to have both options (the already 
existing one and the way you wanna it working).

Yes, I know I had this same problem. The way I solved it was placing every 
single message in a folder (in gmail, label), so even when I archive it I can 
found it in one specific folder. So, YES, you change the way gmail use to work, 
where everything can be archived without no label, but I think this is the 
better way to work with IMAP and avoid fetching every single email twice.
Just my 2 cents ;)
