Sigh.  No, it was a cut and paste, and this is why one always cuts and
pastes one's configuration.

Thank you.

So I broke it when adding a secondary server by misspelling the variable
name, and Gnus was smart enough to figure out that it should activate the
server anyway if I pushed it hard enough, which kept me from realizing
that the configuration was just wrong.
