My testing shows that the standard flags are working as expected but

$Label1, $Label2 und $Label3 (only 3?).
As of CGP v6.1.16 that was true. I have backed up messages with
$Label1 (mapped to a client name in MM) set on both of my Macs, so I'm
certain that at least 1 of the 3 worked for me with MM & CGP within
the past year. Given how CGP implements flags for its file-per-message
storage model (which is highly accessible to 3rd-party tools) I would
not expect them to support arbitrary user-defined flags any time soon.
One problem in the CGP world complicating the problem is that the
licensing model encourages sites to stick with older versions
indefinitely even though only the current x.y version gets any sort of
support, enhancement, or bug fix work. As a result, there are far
worse problems than weird IMAP keyword support frozen in place on
obsolete CGP systems still being used. I'm not sure exactly when CGP
got the fixed keyword support it has but I vaguely recall that 4.x
(which still exists in the wild) only supported the core standard
flags.
It seems they are running GCP 6.1.18 and from what you are saying, I
gather that I have to learn to live with only the standard flags on this
service…
