"ipurge -f -d 1 -X user/*/spam" works for me (2.3cvs). The messages get 
expunged and expired immediately, which is what I would expect from:

   mailbox_expunge(&the_box, purge_check, &stats, EXPUNGE_FORCE);

cyr_expire is normally used to expire expunged messages if you are running 
with delayed expunge. ipurge appears to bypass this.
