I'm afraid this is one of those things which sounds simple, but when 
trying to solve it then all kinds of special cases start to appear 
(maybe I'm just basing this on my past experience with handling the 
various Gmail quirks).

Hmm, looking at the code it seems that I do try handle this case. The 
problem might be that the Gmail account is not properly resynchronized. 
What happens if you select a message and use “Message ▸ Reset...”? 
Does that pick up the Gmail label by enabling the corresponding IMAP 
keyword? (Not that this is a good workaround.)

(You can see the raw IMAP keywords if you enable the Raw Flags column in 
the messages outlint.)
