Ok.  Yet there are two problems still.

1. If the target (nnimap) group where expired articles should go doesn't
   already exists, the articles will be deleted instead (with no error
   signaled to the user).

2. If you have a large hole in the article number sequence (say, you
   have an IMAP group with a three months old ticked article, then a
   large gap of expired articles and then some new articles), the
   expiring process takes for ever.  I guess that's because Gnus request
   a lot of non existing articles from the IMAP server, even if it needs
   not to.

The setup under which these problems showed up here is the same as that
described in my previous articles of this thread (references).
