Well, at least the (bogus) group name and the backend queried are in
there now.  But I concur that the error reporting could be better.
Perhaps we could use gnus-request-group to figure out if the group
actually exists, as nnvirtual does[1].  But I guess I'll wait with
further changes so Sascha's outstanding patches apply cleanly.

Thanks for testing,

[1] While it calls gnus-request-group, it doesn't really check for an
    error, but I guess the chances for it to run into a nonexisting
    group are negligible.
