The canonical e-mail format uses CRLF.

I assume you really waited a very long time? Perhaps the server was
very busy with committing things to disk?

Right, that seems somewhat weird. I'd expect the next command to
fail.

You could try upgrading...
Do you use a Kerberos/GSS-API/SSL stream? Then try toggling
imap-process-connection-type, and restart Emacs/gnus.
