Sounds like it.

For my test group, I get:

(assq 'expire (gnus-info-marks (gnus-get-info "nnvirtual:imap-test")))
=> (expire 392790 394237)

You get nil for yours?

I've looked through the code for something special being done with the
expirable marks, and I can't find anything that's nixing out those in
particular.  But I may be looking in the wrong parts of the code...
