Almost certainly this is because your sent messages are going into
"nnimap+gmail:[Gmail]/Sent Mail", and so, after sending, Gnus displays
this group for you. When you compose a new message, does the message
composition buffer show this header?

Gcc: nnimap+gmail:[Gmail]/Sent Mail

Is this the group sent mail should be going in to?

I'm not sure what ought to happen in the case that this is the correct
sent mail group, but you don't actually want to subscribe to it.

But I'm guessing that you want sent mail saved somewhere else?
