Filtering to a Trash folder vs expunging?



I'm using alpine to access my remote IMAP mailbox and would like
messages that I delete to be moved to my remote IMAP trash folder.

I've created a filter rule as described by Chris Lawrence in this
previous thread:
http://tinyurl.com/2g2bc4
(Set 'Current Folder Type' to Email, and 'Message is Deleted' to Yes.
Set the Filter Action to 'Move' and specify the Trash folder.)

Chris explained that pressing x to Expunge would trigger this filter
and move items marked 'deleted' to trash. I am finding that if I press
d to mark messages 'deleted' and then press x to expunge, the messages
are destroyed.
However, if I press d to delete a message and then quit Alpine,
the filter runs and moves any messages marked 'deleted' to the Trash
folder. Similarly, if I go to Setup, Rules, and choose FilterNow (S, R, N)
then the filter runs and moves any messages marked 'deleted' to the
Trash folder.

Why is my expunge not doing this action also?
