I doubt I'm going to be of any help here, but...

Does the same thing happen when moving messages manually? Ie, they still
stay in the original group? Splitting and moving manually ought to use
the same process.

Does anyone know if Gmail's IMAP implementation supports MOVE? Or is it
COPY and delete/expunge?
