That's right. According to gmail their standard "Trash" folder will have its content removed in 30 days. I don't see an option on gmail site to disable this time limit.

There was a lot of interest in this issue 10 years ago when this bug was first entered. Other than you, I'm not sure if there is any interest now. A fairly easy fix was identified in bug 533140 comment 40 that I have tested with Attachment #9080522 [details] [diff] (minus an enabling pref). 

Therefore the question to the tb project management is whether this needs to be fixed or not.
