Comment (by axeld):

 Not strange, just a bug in the implementation; moving files does not work
 across multiple devices unless you handle this specifically, which Clemens
 obviously missed.

 The question is just: why go through the hassle as all? What's the point
 in storing the mail in one place at first, only to move it to somewhere
 else afterwards? The outgoing mail is found by a query anyway. If that's
 some special implementation for IMAP, I would think it should be solved
 for IMAP, without clobbering POP3 at all.
