It's not at all unusual for me to do this. Also, this happens to me
when I don't read a newsgroup for a few days, from servers with short
storage times, etc. It is a recurring problem I often encounter, and
to which a fix is easily implemented.
Also, none of this addresses the extremely common, absurd problem in
which gnus can't even keep track of its own messages count.
