Right. How about the following:

Add gnus-summary-article-delete-hook (and -move-hook) to
gnus-summary-local-variables (these are the hooks the registry uses to
do its thing). Then nnir can override them in nnir groups and deal with
the registry stuff itself. This should be really easy and means all the
nnir-specific stuff is confined to nnir.el.
