hitting delete on a message in, say, INBOX, just flags the message as
deleted (this is how IMAP works, and in fact, all other mail clients)

no idea what you are saying here as this makes no sense.

if you Expunge in INBOX (or whatever folder you deleted a message from),
it removes it from the server (and virtual Trash folder as well)
permanently.

no need... and in fact can't. a message in the Trash folder is already
marked as Deleted.

eh? the message was completely wiped from the server at step 2...
