I've done the following :
evolution --force-shutdown
find ~/.evolution/mail/local -name '*ev-summary*' -exec rm -f {} \;
find ~/.evolution/mail/local -name '*.ibex*' -exec rm -f {} \;
find ~/.evolution/mail/local -name '*.cmeta*' -exec rm -f {} \;

Then I restarted and after tens of minutes recomputing the index, it has
been able to successfully empty the trash :-)

Sure ;)

So there's a bug, there's a workaround... Maybe the upstream bug should
be reopened indeed...

Dunno.

Maybe 2.26 would fix that ?

Hope this helps.
