This is expected behaviour.  When you delete a message in Evolution, it 
marks it as deleted and leaves it in place, but hidden.  When you empty 
the Trash folder, it deletes the message properly.  The Trash folder is 
not a location, it's a virtual folder which shows all messages in all 
folders marked as deleted.  Since a move is accomplished by a copy + 
delete, you can understand why one consequence of this design is that 
the message in the original location ends up showing in the Trash.

I'm afraid it's a feature, not a bug :)
