We can't tell you if Google is actually considering it, as we're just users like yourself, but... I can say that people have been asking about it/requesting it through the official request page for some time, and it hasn't happened yet, so I'd speculate that they are not. Since IMAP is designed as an interactive protocol, I'm not sure how I'd choose to implement it in a behind the scenes fashion.
Have you considered having the mail forwarded? That will be more real-time and guaranteed to work more reliably.
