Yes, indeed, this seems to solve the problem.

Was there a recent change in Gnus that requires me to set this variable
now, which I never had to do before?

I usually do *not* read news online, but always use the agent. Is it
normal Gnus behaviour that I have to set gnus-agent-synchronize-flags
for that to work?  Or could it still be a sign that something went wrong,
when I moved my Gnus news data from one system to the other?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Robert Epprecht
