    For some reason Gmail does not report keyword-changes when a mailbox is in the “Connected” state (IMAP IDLE). Maybe this can explain it (it should then clear up...

    No, it's not currently possible. For technical reasons, it is not so easy to fix, but I do expect to improve this at some point (also for other reasons).
