As it turns out, the bug was internal to Neakums.  (See my
self-followup).

However, gnus-newsgroup-variables could probably do with having a
documentation string.  Some thing along the lines of:

  gnus-newsgroup-variables: A list of summary-buffer-local variables
  that should be made global while the summary buffer exists.  This
  variable can be used to set variables in the group parameters while
  still allowing them to affect operations done in other buffers.

Probably needs better wording, but I think that's the gist of it.
