Yes, GMail can be tricky like that. You may try setting "Automatically compact folders (expunges deleted messages)" in the advanced account preferences. That solved a few other things for me too. But I don't think it was required for the expiry feature which (I think) just moves messages to GMail's trash bin. Which is exactly as I want it.

Funny, I also have a local IMAP account on one of my machines, but that one is for archiving stuff I really want to keep (locally), so I move things there by hand.
