Currently 0.16.  This problem first appeared with an earlier version
(can't remember exactly which), though.

Right, again forgetting to mention something essential...

Yes, the server is agentized.  There are also other groups on that
server and they work just fine.

(gnus-agentize) is the last line of my .gnus.el.

This is getting weird.  I ran this, and one of the groups showed the
proper number (not anything huge, but something reasonable) of
articles, and now the headers (and articles) for it are downloaded
with the normal batch.  The other three groups are still exhibiting
the problem; rerunning gnus-agent-regenerate does not help.
