Here's what my *Messages* buffer says after one such connection drop,
for example:
Opening nnimap server on gmail...
Opening connection to imap.gmail.com via tls...
Opening TLS connection to `imap.gmail.com'...
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli --insecure -p 993 imap.gmail.com'...failed
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli --insecure -p 993 imap.gmail.com --protocols ssl3'...failed
Opening TLS connection with `openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:993 -no_ssl2 -ign_eof'...done
Opening TLS connection to `imap.gmail.com'...done
Opening nnimap server on gmail...done
Moving to nnimap+gmail:archive/2001: (3135)...
nnimap-send-command: Buffer *nnimap imap.gmail.com 993 *nntpd**<2> has no process
It looks like Gnus *does* attempt to recover, reconnects to Gmail using
openssl for ssl encryption, and then, for some reason, fails to find the
connection it just opened.
At the same time, my buffer list *does* include at least _one_ valid
connections to Gmail's imap server:

Another thing that may be useful is that the buffer-process problem
_only_ manifests when I try `B m' to move messages from one folder to
another. If I type `g' in my *Groups* buffer to check for new messages,
a new connection is made to Gmail's imap server and messages are checked
successfully. My *Messages* buffer then shows:

Don't some network-related functions return null characters if you try
to read from a socket after the connection is closed?

I think they return zero as their status-value but not extra ascii bytes
whose value is zero.

Sounds likely.
I've verified that putting a single NUL character into any mail and then
trying to move it to Gmail will make Gmail hang up the connection.
So the Gmail IMAP servers just aren't compliant -- the IMAP RFC says
that all IMAP servers should be able to take binary data after APPEND, I
seem to recall.
The question is -- what should nnimap do about that? Introduce a
"quirks mode" for Gmail that just strips all NUL characters?

I would ask the use how to treat the NULs, similarly to how Gnus asks
about unprintable characters in an outgoing e-mail.

But only for Gmail servers, I guess? None of the other I've tried seem
to have any problems with NULs.

Sure. It may not work to autodetect gmail.com with Google Apps, if
those support the IMAP access, since they run under another domain name.
Can someone knowledgeable about that comment? If my suspicion is right,
it would have to be a backend slot variable.

The greeting is
* OK Gimap ready for requests from 198.144.208.130 k9if2067598fax.47
so if we just match for "OK Gimap", then we should probably be safe.
I'm wondering whether to over-engineer this by adding a quirks mode
mechanism, or whether to just special-case this in the -request-accept
function, or, hm.
I'd really prefer that Gnus queried the user instead of the backend, but
Gnus knows absolutely nothing about this, so I guess it would make most
sense to just add a couple of if statements to nnimap-request-accept,
even though it's kinda uglyish. From my viewpoint as a licenced Over
Engineer.

If it's a single special case, do whatever is simplest. We can
over-engineer it when there's another such case.

Do you get the same result if you use `B c' instead of `B m'? I've been
testing with `B c' (since copying is easier -- you can copy as many
times as you want), and I am unable to reproduce this. If I `B c' a
NUL-bearing message, Gmail drops the connection, and if I then `B c' a
non-NUL message, everything works just fine -- it reestablishes the
connection and copies the message.

Yes, I get the same result with `B c'. What seems odd is that I see two
different imap backends in my buffer list. My ~/.gnus file includes:
(setq gnus-nntp-server "news.sunsite.dk")
(setq nntp-authinfo-function 'nntp-send-authinfo)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.sunsite.dk"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")
(nnimap "gmail"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream tls))))
Completion offers both `nnimap:gmail' and `nnimap:imap.gmail.com' as a
valid `B c' destination, but they both respond that the newly created
imap buffer has no connection when I move or copy messages from an nnml
source folder.
Other imap operations seem to work fine though, e.g. all the following
work fine:
- copying messages from imap folders to local nnml folders
- moving messages from imap folders to local nnml folders
- getting new messages into imap folders by typing `g'
- flag updates when I modify messages through gmail's web interface
and type `g' in gnus
I can even see messages marked in Gnus with '!' as starred messages in
the web interface of Gmail, and when I unmark them in Gnus and type `g'
they get unstarred in the web UI too.
Whatever the problem is with `B c' and `B m' it seems specific to using
an imap folder as the destination of the messages. As a source nnimap
folders seem to work more than fine. I noticed that nnimap access is
now blazingly fast too. I started using Gmail's imap access method only
because it's now very very fast to access the messages from Gnus too :-)

No, as I said previously, it's a bug in Gmail. It fails when accepting
articles that contain NULs. I've now added a quirk for this in nnimap.

Ok, thanks. Is the quirk in the bzr repo? If yes, my daily fetch from
the git mirror will pick it up and I'll give it a spin again :)

Ok, I've rebuilt Emacs and Gnus from a later version [GNU Emacs
24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2011-02-11
on gkeramidas-glaptop].
It still fails to copy my old archived messages to Gmail imap, though.
The message that fails this time is (copied straight from my nnml folder
file at `~/mail/mail/archive/2001/3138'):
http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/3138.nnml
When I try to 'B c' this message to `nnimap+gmail:archive/2001' Gnus
fails to copy the message, but there are no NUL bytes in the message
itself.
So as an experiment I saved this message typing `O m' to `~/foo.mbox'
and used Mutt to copy the same message to:
imaps://gkeramidas@imap.gmail.com/archive/2001
and the copy worked fine. So I'm not sure if there's something wrong
with the message. There's definitely something wrong with Gnus when I
try to open a local nnml groupand send messages to imap though.

I'm unable to reproduce this bug. I'm able to copy that article to
Gmail just fine with the current Gnus.
