So let me see if I understand the problem first: you press ! on the
article, it becomes ticked in the summary buffer, but when you press
'q' to save the tick mark, it doesn't work because when you re-enter
the group with C-u 30 enter (or just enter, which should display all
ticked articles) the article isn't marked as ticked.  Right?

The IMAP trace you showed indicate the server doesn't think the
article is ticked, so Gnus is simply displaying this information to
you.  So the interesting part would be if you can get the IMAP trace
starting when you press ! (followed by q), continuing through when you
and re-enter the group and notice the article isn't marked ticked any
more.  It sounds to me that either the flag setting procedure is buggy
in Gnus, or the server forget about flag.
