And it seems to work just fine. IMAP searching doesn't in fact assign a retrieval score, so the resulting article list can be in any order. Since the gnus `default' is increasing article number, and this can be munged by the user into any order, I'll change it to conform to this in my next push. So it was both a feature and a bug:)
