Judging from the debug logs, you aren't reading any articles. It only
fetched the article headers, but no articles?

It should delete any articles Gnus passes it, could you send me a
*nnimap-debug* and *imap-log* trace of a session where you run
expunging on a group?

Just a guess based on your nnimap-debug; you could be quoting
`immediate' twice. When editing group parameters (`G p', `G E') you
shouldn't quote things. (Write immediate instead of 'immediate).
