The backend prompt has nnmaildir as default. I select that, and the mail
is marked with G (canceled article). I exit the summary buffer and
return to the group list, and can quickly see that the mail hasn't been
moved at all.

I use Gnus for news as well - even if this is the only group I'm
currently subscribed to. :-) Just thought it was irrelevant for my mail
use situation. Running Gnus from git HEAD, if that's interesting.
In the end, I solved my problem by writing a little Python script called
after offlineimap has finished syncronizing my mail. Any new mail is
automagically moved to the correct IMAP maildir, and everything works
fine.
