Filters do NOT expunge.  They simply mark the message as deleted, and 
visually hide the message.  (This is one of the few times I think that programs
hiding info from the user is reasonable.  I like seeing messages that I have
specifically deleted, but if a filter moves/deletes it, it should be
hidden from me.)

You can see this by starting up another IMAP mail program after the filter
has gone through on one machine but before you manually expunge -- you'll
see the messages deleted in the mailbox.
