(I have seen that in at least two groups and can repeat it
 in one peculiar high traffic group).

The problem still exists within that peculiar nnml group,
and I have found out a little bit more:

If I kill threads with 'k' they are marked 'E' as they should,
but are back unread after restarting Gnus. If I kill the same
thread by repeatedly pressing 'n' it does *not* show us unread
next time. (If I mix 'k' and 'n' everything will show as unread
next time). I could repeat the described behaviour half a dozen
times, so I *hope* it's not an accident. In other nnml groups I
see no difference in killing threads by pressing 'k' or 'nnn...'

What can I do to help you finding out what's going on?

BTW: The group has groups parameters set to
((expiry-wait . 36))
but other groups have something similar and do not make problems.
