I've got some slightly different experiences. The messages *are*
expired. Only the entries in the article selection list aren't, so they
end up referring to empty messages.
When new messages are imported, the "junk" messages often end up
referring to some completely unrelated messages, but they are also
imported to their correct newsgroups, where they are deleted after the
normal expiration time for that group. The extraneous entries in "junk"
*are* deleted eventually, but I haven't found a rule for when that
happens.

Usually, it happens to me with excessively long Newsgroups lines, which
uqwk breaks in two or more lines.
