Maybe the .+ which is matching the longest match here:

Norman>    To: "epub-working-group@googlegroups.com"
Norman>    <epub-working-group@googlegroups.com>

which would be:

  epub-working-group@googlegroups.com" <epub-working-group

is trying to make a group called

  googlegroups.epub-working-group@googlegroups.com" <epub-working-group

which GNUS should reasonably reject?
