A receipt request is returned before I check the gmail account. TM, the action you describe seem incorrect in the tests I’ve run with Thunderbird 3.0.2 and gmail email server.

When the email arrives in the inbox it requests the reader of the email to accept the request to send back the receipt or not, only then will an email be sent back to the original sender. Thus alerting you that the email has been read. So it does act as a "Read" receipt in that regard. You have to look at an email to initiate the receipt. It doesn't have to simply arrive in the inbox.

The one thunderbird has is what usually called and delivery receipt and only tells you it got to the person inbox and not that it was read. He asked for a read Receipt that’s when it get’s read.
