Yes, I would object strongly.
The whole _point_ of dormant ticks is that they put the message `in the
background' until it's revealed by a reply. Having groups that are
displayed with an asterix and yet which reveal no contents when entered
would be (1) confusing, and (2) annoying.

If so, it must have been a _very_ long time ago -- I've used dormant
marks for many, many, years, and they've always had the current behavior
as far as I can recall. [I've been using Gnus since GNUS (1992-ish?),
though obviously my memory of such triva from 10 years ago is pretty
dim!]
