It is normal, to move a message it copies it and deletes the original, it is 
the way IMAP is to be used. Just purge (= empty trash)!
A preference shall allow you to hide the messages deleted, so it vould be just 
as a 'normal' move.

Some preferences are not saved in beta version, it'll be fixed.

Hope it helps.
