Thanks for testing. If no one objects, I'll commit this patch.

Works for me. You can enable IMAP logging (by setting imap-log) and see
if catching up produces commands like

3365 UID STORE 5031 +FLAGS (\Seen)

If not, eval the following

(add-hook 'gnus-group-catchup-group-hook 
	  (lambda () (message "catch up: %s" gnus-newsgroup-name)))

and look at the group name in the message buffer after you have catched
up. For groups from the primary back end, you should just see the group
name without any prefix like "nnimap+SERVER:".
