FWIW, I have the following:

  (setq nnmail-spool-file '((directory :path 
       (concat gnus-directory ".incoming/"))

and pgnus just works, ie I get one 'Check new mail' message no mater
how many spools do or do not have anything in them.

This is with fetchmail/mailagent doing the splitting to a file per
group on the fron end (something I borrowed from you and Manoj many
moons ago).
