i don't think the problem has anything to do with the failing groups.
when the search is performed at the [Gnus] level, one enters the
corresponding spec in gnus-search-run-query's mapc, but the individual
group inside the server (nnimap in my case) don't find any results (i've
found out with my favourite debugging too, message).

so what's going on seems to be that a query that says, for instance

   Searching nnimap:feeds/emacs...done

finds results when it's performed in a subtopic of gnus but not when
it's performed in Gnus.  let me explore a little more...
