The group had 128 articles, half of which were ticked and the rest of
which were read.  The *Group* buffer correctly showed 64!, but when I
entered, I was only shown 100 articles, with about 50 ticked and 50
read.

I just tried `M-g', entered the group, marked the oldest unread,
exited, quit gnus, and restarted.  Now `SPC' *does* show me all 128
articles.  And this persists even if I change that article back to
being ticked and restart gnus again...  So I can't reproduce with
that group anymore.  But the problem still happens with other
groups on that server.  I have one where every article is marked as
read and there are no other marks (since they were lost...ahem :-).
