I don't know what all the conventions are but 'O'ld mail does not get
expired on my total-expiry groups either. I notice this when I enter
groups with 'C-u g' and discover a bunch of 'O'ld messages that haven't
been expired.
Messages that are 'R'ead or 'E'xpirable will vanish at the appropriate time
in total-expire groups. The manual isn't written completely clear on this
matter.
I also forgot that adaptive scoring and auto-expire conflict with each
other. If one wants to use adapting, one should either use total-expire
(which doesn't change article marks) or nothing. The problem is (and this
isn't in the manual) that auto-expire changes the marks _before_ adaptive
scoring peruses the articles to see what is interesting and what is not.
