No.
By default development Gnus store a copy of all email imported from
mail-sources in ~/Mail/Incoming* files, as an extra precaution should
anything go wrong (with splitting or what have you).
Those backup copies will by default be deleted after 10 days.
I think in release versions usually the Incoming*-files are usually
deleted immediately.

I think it sounds like a belt-and-suspenders kind of approach.
Best regards,
Adam
