I have seen the same behaviour about a year ago. It turned out that
the (non local) news server I got my news from was completely messed
up then. If I remember correctly the empty 'none' articles tended to
reappear (after deleting them) on the next download.
I have seen it also with older Gnus versions (only) when I was on a
news server which kept messages for a very short time. I got to the
impression that it happened when the Agent tried to download articles
that had expired on the news server. I do not know if this conclusion
was right, and I never saw it again with more recent Gnus versions.
This time the articles did not reappear.
