`B t' and gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent must not be working
right, or your gnus-verbose value is set to a lower value somewhere
else.  Would it be possible to see the message you are using for
testing, in case something about it is the problem?  Send it to me
privately if necessary.  You can also try

M-: (let ((gnus-verbose 9)) (gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent))

which is guaranteed to work because it will override gnus-verbose.  If
it doesn't produce anything in *Messages*, something is wrong on your
side.
