I haven't seen any cases where IMail will only look at the primary MX
record. I have seen cases where it went to the secondary MX record(s),
both on 6.0 and 7.0.

This is from IMail 7.0. It shows IMail trying all 4 MX records for
emailisfun.com before putting back the E-mail into the queue. This is the
expected behavior.
The only abnormality I'm aware of is that with 6.0 (not sure about 7.0),
IMail would go to the A record after trying MX records. It should only go
to the A record if MX records do not exist.
