Here's how I reproduced the problem with 5.10.6 and No
Gnus (assume an empty drafts group):

  * C-u a on alt.test.

  * Type a short message.

  * C-c C-d

  * Go to drafts group, and `D e' on the draft.

  * Make a slight change to the message.

  * Decide to save the edited draft for later still, so do
    another C-c C-d.

  * M-g.

At this point, there are two messages in the drafts group.
If I `D e' on one of them, but actually C-c C-c on that
buffer, when I M-g in the drafts group, there are three.

So it seems like one iteration of compose, draft, re-edit,
send works properly, but if there's another `D e' thrown
in, it breaks.  That's my observation; I could be missing
something obvious.  However, I don't see why someone would
want the old drafts accumulating like that.  It's too easy
to hit `J S' and spam the recipient.
