I'm basically certain this is just a quirk of Gmail.

Right... After writing this, I think I had decided to do that. But 
I realized that I'm not sure I understand how to 
recognize/interact with the process marks, though I confess I 
really only had a quick look. Then I got distracted.

Looking again, I recall noting that gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable 
doesn't interact with the process marks, as-is. (Well, outside of 
my perhaps odd-ball proposed usage, there is no reason it 
should...)

Anyhow, perhaps I'll try again.

best,
george
