I have no idea.  Lars, Eric, what do you think?

Yeah it works fine for me, at least for nnimap, I'd imagine because of
C-h v nnimap-unsplittable-articles RET, defaulting to '(%Deleted %Seen),
meaning that messages marked as deleted or read should not be subject to
splitting.  That said, I think an explicit "do nothing" rule would be
nice indeed.
