I have.  I use nnimap exclusively at work (meaning no other backends,
not that I run Gnus only at work and not at home :-) and my gcc's are
always marked read when I next enter the gcc'd group.

My gcc's are certainly marked "read" but they are not marked "seen".
If I do a `/ .' (gnus-summary-limit-to-unseen) in the group, my gcc
shows up with the other new messages.  So there is a difference
between "read" and "seen".
