Tried this, in vain, too.

FWIW, the section in my .gnus regarding split now looks like this:


(require 'bbdb-gnus) ;;required for bbdb/gnus-nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb

(setq nnimap-split-rule  'nnimap-split-fancy
      nnimap-split-inbox "INBOX"
      nnimap-split-fancy
     `(|      
        ("From" "googlealerts.*" "INBOX.google-alerts")
        (any     lots of STUFF omitted
                                          "INBOX.tmp")
        ,@(bbdb/gnus-nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb)
        ))

and tested this for 4 incoming emails. The gnus/BBDB splits correctly
but there are still invisible copies in the INBOX
