Thanks to you all! That was enough information to solve the mystery:
gnus-server-alist holds servers automatically created by Gnus, *plus*
the servers that you've created using "a" in the *Server* buffer. Not
the servers you've defined in your gnus.el.
Which makes sense: gnus-server-alist is kept in newsrc.eld, and takes
care of saving servers that you've created through the Gnus interface.
It doesn't touch servers you've defined yourself using
select-method/secondary-select-methods in gnus.el.
This is important as I look at turning servers into actual class
objects.
More docstrings and better errors are in order!
Thanks again to everyone,
Eric
