This has been discussed before, and the current behavior is proper.   
If you are not hiding deleted messages in IMP, then you *have* to show  
all messages as-is, regardless of their current flag.  The user has  
explicitly stated that they want to see all messages that live in the  
mailbox.  Why should a message that is flagged as deleted not be  
shown?  There's nothing special about that message... it still exists  
in the mailbox.

The last thing you can do is make assumptions about how other MUA's  
are dealing with flags in mailboxes.
