I don't get a lot of mail sent to my Gmail address, so I would normally only
delete 3 or 4 at a time.  What is unusual about my setup in Apple Mail 
is that my Gmail
trash folder is separate from the others (I do not remember how it got 
that way).
Hitting the trash icon at the top of the app does exactly as you 
describe, leaving the
message in all mail.  But if I drag the message to the gmail trash 
folder, then delete,
it seems to work.  But to be honest, I haven't looked at the web interface
in a long time.  You might be right and they are still there...
