I'm by no means a Gnus maintainer, but I'm somewhat familiar with the
code, and would opt for Nikolaus' second suggestion on the bug tracker:
taking `gnus-summary-expire-articles' out of
`gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook', and explicitly calling it in
`gnus-summary-exit'.
My understanding of hooks is they're meant more for user customization,
but running the expiration is Gnus plumbing (if users don't want to
expire articles, they already have plenty of ways of doing that). And it
seems evident that setting marks should happen before expiration (at
least to me!).
