Following up my own post:

The docs were right and I was wrong - the fact that ssh proxying
worked with nc(1) was due to my using a different connection. The
problem had nothing to do with gnus - emacs was coming up in a shell
(spawned by Gnome) that didn't see ssh-add's done from outside. Now it
works with telnet, too.
