I am ready to accept the reasoning behind treating Gmail as a special
case, and disallowing the use of user-specified folder as the trash
folder.

But I think that lying to the user is unacceptable. If user's selection
of the trash folder is going to be ignored, the user must be told so.
Either by not allowing him/her to select that option, or at least by
showing them an error message like "this option does not work for
Gmail". Currently (52.1.1, eight years since the bug was reported)
Thunderbird lets the user select the trash folder, but silently
continues to use a different folder.
