So that's:

(gnus-search-transform
 (make-instance 'gnus-search-mairix)
 (gnus-search-parse-query "since:3d")) -> "d:20230127-"

As I read the spec, that's the correct format (actually, mairix could
also handle the "3d" directly, but there's currently no option to pass
the unparsed search string through). Can you check on the command line,
outside of Gnus, and confirm that you see the correct messages returned?

You can also edebug `gnus-search-run-search' for the
`gnus-search-indexed' engine (gnus-search.el:1394 in master), and see
if anything funky is happening in there.
