I have not seen this error.  It seems to be related to Emacs' move to
use `cl-' as the prefix of these functions, but `cl.el' should define
the `some' alias to `cl-some'.  Could you check?  `cl.el' is required by
`gnus-registry.el':

#+begin_src lisp
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
#+end_src

so this seems like maybe you have an older `cl.el' in your load path?

I am using a dev version of Emacs compiled last week and the registry
works for me.
