Messages are not "copied" to a Virtual Trash folder.  Messages are  
deleted within a mailbox, but not displayed.  Virtual Trash is nothing  
more than a search query that goes through your mailboxes, identifies  
messages flagged as deleted, and shows all those messages in a single  
location.  This is why it does not affect the quota (there is no  
copying/moving of messages).

This looks to be a bug.
