Well, the weird thing is that the logs say it's expunging everything and
you say it's not.. What about if you change the cronjob to do:

doveadm fetch uid mailbox Trash
doveadm expunge mailbox Trash ..
doveadm fetch uid mailbox Trash

so that it logs 1) a list of UIDs before expunge, 2) UIDs of what get
expunged and 3) UIDs that exist after expunge.
