Well, my test setup was a bit different (because it's a LIVE mailbox
and a live sync). For the already synced account I add maxage=180 and
the debug parameters you suggested. Some mail gets deleted:

Syncing 1A_invoices: Gmail -> MappedIMAP
Deleting 23 messages (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37,
38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48) in Gmail[1A_invoices],
LocalStatus[1A_invoices]
Syncing 1A_tracking: Gmail -> MappedIMAP
Deleting 26 messages (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80,
81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94) in
Gmail[1A_tracking], LocalStatus[1A_tracking]

So I grep the log for 1A_invoices (which is a folder name) and attach
it. Yes, the SINCE date is correct, but still the messages get
deleted. Anything else I can do?
