Does the cache active file look ok? Now that you mention it. My News/cache/active file was empty, and hadn't been touched since Oct 2nd. I was using Qgnus 0.11 at the time, and had only just started using Emacs 20.2 the night before. Oh well, I deleted it, restarted Gnus, and now it contains the information I would expect, making the affected groups contain the expected number of articles. Deleting the active file and touch'ing it makes Gnus do the same thing as before. Perhaps Gnus should treat an empty active file as a non-existant one? As a sidenote, the problem wasn't directly with the articles being marked as read. When entering the summary buffer for an affected group for the first time, the empty active file caused gnus-cache to assume the cache was empty, so the cached *and* expired articles were not presented, and ultimately marked as read.
