Near as I can tell, you can still keep the agent for IMAP if you're
willing to `M-x gnus-agent-expire-group' any time you think deleted
articles are hanging around too long.  Apparently "agent expiry" isn't
really the same as regular expiry, in that it's just about clearing out
the agent's cache.  Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong (or
confirm that I'm right ;-)).
