If I remove my nnfolder server from gnus-secondary-select-methods
(so that list is nil), then I get other problems. For example,
when I start with g-s-s-m nil, gnus updates the marks on my
nnfolder groups twice, and takes a lot longer to start up.
(It does some other thing differently, and more slowly, too.)
Here's what my *Messages* buffer shows. I don't usually get all those
[2 times] things.

And, still, going to the server buffer gives me:
