(Sorry Michael, this message is not an answer...)

I use almost the same setup, and I am facing the same problem,
whatever the backend is (nnimap or nnml). B-<delete> works well.


My expiration definition is :

(setq

 gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups "^list.\\|^mail."
 nnmail-expiry-wait-function
 (lambda (group)
   (cond 
    ((string-match "^list." group) 7)	          ;; mailing-lists
    ((string-match "^mail.verimag.log" group) 7)  ;; logs
    ((string-match "^mail." group) 31)            ;; others
    (t 'never)))                                  ;; 
)
