The above is not a bug but a lack of a feature, Thunderbird doesnt allow you to set gmail as IMAP if it allowed it and didnt work than it would be a bug.

| The other is that you cannot change the account type after creation from POP to IMAP.+
Also not a bug but a lack of a feature, Mozilla set it up that way on purpose (however not sure why but that is why i asked you to file it upstream since this is something they need to implement.
