I wonder if this couldn't be something what accidentally happened to me.
Someone could "delete" all their email - including my messages - by moving
it into spam folder (and I know that among the people who I corresponded with
there are at least two people who recently changed email addresses and moved
off of Gmail, so it is possible they deleted all email before deleting the
account) and that's why Google started suddenly classifying my emails as
spam.

Is there any way for the sender to protect against such users' behaviour,
ie. being inadvertently classified as spam?

BTW. did you receive my email with the test messages I sent to Google?

Oh, it's eu.org.  Of course that's a problem.  When you use free
stuff. you will find it's often worth only what you paid for it.

If you're not willing to pay 10€ for a real domain name, why should anyone
put any effort into accepting your mail?

For anyone who was going to mention the free TLDS like .tk, you don't
want to go there.  For one thing their mail reputation is beneath
horrible.  For another, the way they stay usable at all is by giving a
API keys to a large group of trusted notifiers so they can instantly
kill names that misbehave.  If they kill a few by mistake, too bad,
here's a refund of the $0.00 you paid.

R's,
John

Just because you should by default accept mail from everyone *unless* the
sender proved to be nasty/harmful/mailicious etc.?
Otherwise you are breaking the very purpose of e-mail.

Well, Gmail is basically "free stuff" as well. Yahoo is "free stuff". In my
country, Onet, WP and Interia are big free e-mail providers as well. Should
nobody accept mail from them just because they are free?

Ah yes, I understand. They are big, and I am small. Big one is allowed more
than a small one. Back to the jungle, eh...?

what if the look quite plausibly harmful?

surely the purpose depends on the user?  different people will have
different expectations and ideas

Right.  I didn't get the message you were responding to, so I looked in 
the logs and see the IP is in the middle of a block at OVH that gushes 
spam so it went straight to the spam trap.  The logs say that it's the 
only message of the last several hundred from that block that arguably 
wasn't spam, so that's a pretty low error rate.

They manage to keep the ratio of good mail to junk acceptable.  As others 
have pointed out, whether they're "free" is open to debate.
