Right. It happens like this:

Select an unseen/undownloaded article for the first time:
* [gnus is doing stuff...]
* article buffer gets set up
* article line (the part that is usually highlighted with
  gnus-summary-selected-face) in the summary buffer bears the `nil'
  face (seen via M-x describe-face).

Select an article that was downloaded before:
* [gnus is doing stuff...]
* article buffer gets set up
* article line bears the gnus-summary-selected-face.

Strange.

Yeah. Might be that I tested it the wrong way. (-;
