But it's nospam, so it was almost certainly incorrect.

Yep, almost certainly wrong. Read my reply.

It does make a difference because there is no function to delete a mail
message in IMAP. There is a function to mark a message for deletion, and
there is an entirely separate function that actually asks the server to
delete all the marked messages in a mailbox.

Two actions, much harder to imagine a big that would trigger them both.
