It worked for moved articles last time I used it.

But the real limitation (that has been lifted with gnus-registry) is
that nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent is restricted to the "primary
mail backend".  If gnus-select-method is a mail backend, then that's
it, and otherwise gnus-secondary-select-methods is searched in order
for the first mail backend, which becomes the "primary mail backend".

nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent should be removed from Gnus, I think.

WDYT?
