They shouldn't.  Try the `a' `e' method to add the servers instead of
gnus-secondary-select-methods.  Unfortunately I don't have this set up
myself, so I can't vouch for the correctness of Gnus with two nnml
servers, but if you run into further problems I'll take a look to make
sure the underlying code is doing the right thing.

If a server is defined by Lisp code, rather than through the `a'
method I mentioned, you can't edit the parameters through the `e'
command in the Server buffer.
