I ran gnus-agent-regenerate, and now the Agent is giving me wrong
data about some groups in the group buffer. After M-g on them, the
unread count goes back from 10,000 (say) to 0.
(Actually, I don't know that the Agent is giving the wrong data: I'm
plugged. But it started to happen immediately after
gnus-agent-regenerate, I'm sure.)
What can I do to help investigate the problem?

Well, the gnus-agent-regenerate-group can call
gnus-make-ascending-articles-unread if REREAD is non-nil. On the
opposite end, gnus-agent-expire-group will update the agent's active
range. Finally, gnus-select-newsgroup will expand the active range to
include articles found in the agent but no longer in the server's
active range.
I hope that that helps. I'm not at all sure how the agent could would
make the unread count drop to zero.

Oh, I see. I explained it wrong.
Zero is the correct unread count. So until I do `M-g' in plugged
mode, the unread count is wrong (too high).

Take a close look at gnus-agent-regenerate. In particular, the code
just after the call to gnus-agent-regenerate-group. That code expands
the group's active range to include any articles that are cached.

I will investigate closer later, but what I can say is that the group
nnimap+dtm:ir.announce is not mentioned in ~/News/cache/active, and
there is no directory that corresponds to it, either.
It shows 2299 unread (and new) messages, 0 ticked, 2 dormant. After
M-g, it shows 0 new, 0 ticked, 2 dormant. Hitting RET on it (after
M-g), it asks me whether I want 773 messages.
I've now marked the two dormant messages as read. We'll see what
happens when I start Gnus the next time.

I now verified that the agent.lib/active file contains a bogus first
number for the groups in question -- 3072 was used for two groups
even though the real number was different (from 3072 and different
for each group).
No idea how that got there, though. Hm.
