All right.  I think, after looking at your original description, that
the Gnus cache (gnus-cache.el) is preventing the deletion.  I need you
to remove the article from the cache (`M-*' is the default binding)
before the first deletion and after the first deletion in two separate
tests.  That way we can find if the cache is holding on to the article
or just interfering with the deletion.

Also, as a baseline, I need you to confirm that setting the gnus-cache
variable to 'passive or nil prevents the problem from ocurring.

Katsumi Yamaoka and Reiner Steib have worked on the gnus-cache in the
past and may be able to help us debug this.

Thanks
