Yeah, doing so worked.

I guess, now, that in .newsrc.eld (nntp "news.gmane.org") means "the
foreign server defined by this", while "nntp:news.gmane.org" means "the
secondary server named news.gmane.org".

And when I changed my access to news.gmane.org from being as a foreign
server to a secondary method (waaaaay back), I didn't update .newsrc.eld
to reflect that (didn't know any better), thus causing me the problem I
tried to fix without understanding why I had that problem.

Thanks for kicking me in the right direction; I'm pretty sure, now, that
the patch I posted shouldn't be applied. Case closed :-)
