That is a bug in Gnus for sure.  The maildir spec mandates the use of these
flags.  I am sorta of two minds about this; relaly, this bug should be fixed
in Gnus rather than OfflineIMAP.  On the other hand, it is nice to make
OfflineIMAP work with more programs.

I have used OfflineIMAP with Gnus before, and indeed have experienced
problems with the flags.

I will put this on the todo queue for 5.0.
