Let me try. No, it doesn't get called.

Trying...

It looks to me like gnus-read-active-for-groups is only called for
nndraft: - not for nnml: - when I go g.

gnus-newsrc-alist does not contain nnml: (there are no nnml:groups).

Ok, so gnus-read-active-for-groups is called from
gnus-get-unread-articles, which consults gnus-newsrc-alist for what
methods to check, as far as I can see.

A comment says:

  ;; method.

So, maybe gnus-get-unread-articles ought to also go through methods that
don't have groups, after it has gatheres the methods with groups that
need to be checked?

I think I give up for tonight.
