So ShengHuo ZHU has this nice signature:
(setq gnus-posting-styles '((".*" (signature-file "~/.signature"))))
I typed 'C-h v gnus-posting-styles' and was told (among other things)
You can customize this variable.
When I type 'M-x customize-variable gnus-posting-styles', on the other
hand, I am told
Variable gnus-posting-styles cannot be customized
gnus-posting-styles is defined in gnus-msg, where it is defined using
defvar. So why am I told that I can customize it? Does this happen
with everyone, or is there something screwy in my setup?
(This is with Oort Gnus v0.01, taken from cvs on January 11 or so.)

Curious. With the same command, i dont get this message but :
gnus-posting-styles's value is
((".*"
(signature ma-signature)
(address "jaco@teaser.fr"))
("fr.usenet.logiciels"
(address "jaco@titine.fr.eu.org")))
Documentation:
*Alist of styles to use when posting.
Defined in `gnus-msg'.

This behavior is completely reproducible for me. I've done the
following, and I still get the message that gnus-posting-styles is
customizable:
upgraded to the current cvs (30 minutes ago or so)
started emacs with 'emacs -q'
deleted my .gnus file
removed the directories containing old versions of gnus from the
load-path
deleted all of the .elc files in gnus/lisp
Doing all of these has no effect; I still get this message.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm really puzzled.

I tested it in Emacs 20.4 and Emacs 20.7. My conclusion is that it is
a bug in Emacs 20.4.

Nope, my Emacs 20.7 (from Debian Potato) is unwilling to customize
this, too.
Cheers,

The bug is that 20.4 somehow marked it as customizable with 'C-h v',
despite the option not being declared with defcustom.
I don't remember why Emacs choose to disable customization of
variables declared with 'defvar', the custom code is supposed to
handle these (it calls them "rogue" options).
