Hi Jorge and Eric,
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

How might I begin to troubleshoot to see if this is a bug on Gmail's
side, within my local Gnus configuration, or within Gnus itself? I'm
mainly just curious, since like I said I can just request arbitrarily
many articles to eventually get the older ones.
I've noticed this behavior occurs not only with Gmail but also with
other IMAP email providers, as well. Anecdotally, today I observed
using a non-Gmail IMAP service that when I requested 10 old articles, I
got less than 10, and when I requested 10 again, I got even more
articles (but still less than 10). It's quite curious.
