This was a very wise advice: in the end, `nnmaildir' was looking for the
parameters of the group "inbox", not "nnmaildir:inbox". That did the
trick! 🎉
So, the customization of `gnus-parameters' would be:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(customize-set-variable 'gnus-parameters
'(("inbox"
(expire-age . 0)
(expire-group . "nnmaildir:trash"))))
#+end_src

Don't worry about that. You saved the day once more!
Thank you very much!
*P.S.:* I imagine there must be a rationale behind this and it was
defined a long time ago, but why doesn't `nnmaildir' make use of the
`expiry-target' parameter like other backends do?
