When it's ready to shuffle files, expire pauses innd.  This causes innd
to close the history database so innd doesn't have the files open.
expire moves the files, and then it tells the server to go, which means
it will re-open the database.  So unless there is an AIX bug, innd is
definitely not keeping the old file open.

Do you have any nnrpd servers that also have the old history file open?
