Yea, the official public docs you link to say [Gmail]/Drafts.

I can't find any proof either way that we're using one or the
other format going forward.  Yes, I did look at stuff that is
only on our internal network.  I can't draw any conclusions
from what I was able to find and read.

So there's your "Gmail insider", at least from my perspective,
I really can't confirm either way any better than you can.
