Happened again today. FWIW, setting gnus-asynchronous to nil made it
disappear. I increased verboseness, and saw it bugged out on "waiting
for async article". I think the async download works fine, but then some
weird condition makes it hang. To be more precise, I marked a few
articles as unread in gnus.general, exited, then entered it with SPC,
which displayed the first article. It also precached the next article :
Prefetching article 8024 in group
nntp+localhost:gmane.emacs.gnus.general. Very nice, thank
you. nntp-record-commands showed me the following.

20120613T161447.592 localhost GROUP gmane.emacs.gnus.general
20120613T161447.595 localhost XOVER 7963-7963
20120613T161447.634 localhost XOVER 8022-8030
20120613T161447.838 localhost ARTICLE 8022
20120613T161447.990 localhost GROUP gmane.emacs.gnus.general
20120613T161447.991 localhost ARTICLE 8024

So far, so good. Then I press "n", going to the next unread article, and
then I get "waiting for async article" which hangs, with no further
entries in *nntp-log*. I definitely think this is a gnus issue. I don't
see any other setting related to asynchronous behavior in my config
file.

Hope that helps,
Antoine
