To answer that part of the question myself: the reason is that Gnus uses
condition-case to catch the error (presumably so it can still attempt to
open any other servers).

To enter the debugger, one has to either use debug-on-signal (but that
gives a lot of other debugger invocations as well), or change the
problematic condition-case to condition-case-unless-debug.

Best,
