Yes this should definitely work (and has worked for years and years). It
is still working in my setup (just checked) but I am using the
gnus-select feature branch.

The updating should NOT invoke gnus-summary-update-info; the nnir group info
list is not saved to the newsrc (unless you are using permanent search
groups). The trick is to update the info for the underlying group that
the marked messages are from, and this is done elsewhere. Exactly where,
err, I would have to go back and look at nnir.

Best,
Andy
