Do we? I thought it didn't matter:

I took that as "it shouldn't matter".

That works for me, though I have "nnml:" in my wait function as well.

The code has this (at least for Gnus-5.0.12, I haven't tried sgnus) in
gnus.el:

      ;; Check whether auto-expire is to be done in this group.
      (setq gnus-newsgroup-auto-expire
	    (or (and (stringp gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups)
		     (string-match gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups group))
		(memq 'auto-expire (nth 5 info))))

so it should be OK without the method, and (if group includes the
method, which I think it does) with the method as well.
