That was only my guess (based on very shallow understanding of the Gnus
internals). I can try to implement sorting and see if that helps. This
is what I found inside Gnus manual but I'm not sure if that's relevant
for this issue:

[...] article numbers must be assigned in order of arrival in the group;
this is not necessarily the same as the date of the message.

That's the thing. There's nothing explicit in RFC 3501 about the message
order so AFAIK the consensus is that UIDs don't have to be sorted.
