If I launch gnus-git-master and I eval this, then no, it is not split.

If I launch gnus-git-master-with-the-cited-patch and I eval this, then
yes, it is split.

I'm using MS Exchange 2010 and a setup like:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")
      gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "foo-user1"
                                        (nnimap-address "imap.foo.com")
                                        (nnimap-split-methods default)
                                        ;; etc
                                      (nnimap "foo-user2"
                                        (nnimap-address "imap.foo.com")
                                        ;; etc, no split
                                     
That is, two different users on the same IMAP server, one is client-side
split and one is not.  The splitting looks like:

(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)
(setq nnmail-split-fancy
   '(|  ;; to boot, I don't like duplicates:
        ("Gnus-Warning" "This is a duplicate" "mail.spam.duplicates")
        ;; etc
        ("List-ID" "ding\\.gnus\\.org" "mail.app.emacs.gnus")
        ;; etc
        ;; by default we do not trust the rest
        "mail.personal.misc"))

As I mentioned in the patch commit message, this used to work well until
and including be87151 (13-Dec-2010), was broken by the following two
commits (3595cdc, cc7d0e0) and works again after the cited patch.
