| 1) Is this behaviour "correct" or "broken"?

It is broken only if a) that information exists on the server, and b) it is
destructively removed -- that is, it is utterly impossible to regenerate
that information.

| 2) What should the retrieving program (fetchmail, pop3-movemail, etc)
| do when this happens?

'Be liberal in what they accept'.  Ie, deal with the situation as best they
can.
