Yes, it is in today's release.  (8.2.0 beta, don't call it 8.3.0 yet!)

Once they are labelled "stale", they won't get expunged.  If you want to
expunge them, you will need to delete them manually and expunge them.  But,
as I said, if the stale copies are all that you have, then your folder is an
"inconsistent" state.  The best way to fix it is to get rid of the
imap-cache folder and let VM regnerate a new cache folder.

Yes, you will keep on getting those warning messages until you do something
about the stale messages!
