I tried again from scratch, various permutation.

And gnus-cloud-method is modified when I save the customization of
mail-source-movemail-program to "movemail".  I don't know how and why
gnus-cloud-method was modified.

However, I was able to eliminate the customization of
rmail-movemail-program whithout any ill effects (I haven't used rmail
for three decades anyway... I quickly moved om to VM because it
supported the native unix mailbox format, and then moved on to various
mh-based MUAs in the 1990ies before ending up with gnus where I stayed).

So now the only modifications are:
- '(gnus-cloud-method "nnimap:privat" t)
+ '(gnus-cloud-method "nnimap:privat")

and
+ '(mail-source-movemail-program "movemail")

and now it works.

Thanks again!
