This breaks "create the first nnml-group when starting to use Gnus"
use-case.

If you create a test-user on your system and put some email for him in
/var/mail/$USER and configure Gnus to use nnml, then Gnus won't fetch
any email until you create the first nnml-group (this started around
3595cdc6 and cc7d0e00).

Until your 53a5da8e creating that - now-crucial - first group could be
done by jumping to a nnml-group, after which, Gnus fetches the email
(from ((file))) happily.

With your change, it is impossible for a new user to get email from
/var/mail/$USER as far as I can see?

I guess jump either should revert to the previous behaviour, or it
should allow you to jump to a group if that select method has no groups
at all (so you can create e.g. the first nnml group).
