This kept catching me too. You have to be careful about regexes; Gnus
adds an implicit word boundary on either end of the regex, but Emacs
doesn't consider the transition from a non-alphanumeric to another
non-alphanumeric to be a word boundary. So if your regex begins or ends
with some non-alphanumeric characters, the regex won't match the way you
expect.
Short version: change that to ".*\\[Paper Republic\\].*" and I bet it will
start working.
