Perhaps my earlier inquiry didn't get through. Any chance you are running on Fedora 19 or later? I encountered what I think is the same issue about this time last year. Fedora delivers a site-start.el file that results in an older version of gnus-util to be loaded at startup, prior to .emacs, thereby overruling any load-path fixes you might make there. I reported it to RedHat but never did get a response. My solution is to remove that site-start.el. For historical context see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/83524 and the follow up thread http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/83565
