I'm now on gnus eca0ea5785cbc60125202c7e5ddd2b614e64c5bc (=last good
version for me), and nnimap-object typically looks like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[cl-struct-nnimap "mail.zyxxy.xyzzy" #<process *nnimap*> nil
                  ("IMAP4" "IMAP4REV1" "AUTH=PLAIN" "CHILDREN" "IDLE" "NAMESPACE" "LITERAL+")

                   ("OK"
                    ("READ-WRITE")
                    "SELECT" "completed.")
                   ("572" "EXISTS")
                   ("0" "RECENT")
                   ("FLAGS"
                    ("\\Seen" "\\Answered" "\\Flagged" "\\Deleted" "\\Draft" "$MDNSent"))
                   ("OK"
                    ("PERMANENTFLAGS" "(\\Seen" "\\Answered" "\\Flagged" "\\Deleted" "\\Draft" "$MDNSent)")
                    "Permanent" "flags")
                   ("OK"
                    ("UNSEEN" "571")

                   ("OK"

                  nil "imap.foo.com"
                  (19660 30995 114637)
                  "* OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service is ready.^M"]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

BTW, if you are looking at IMAP capabilities, I noticed a difference in
that Exchange 2010 returns solely AUTH=PLAIN even when one authenticates
via SSL, while Exchange 2007 returned also AUTH=NTLM AUTH=GSSAPI for
authenticated users (and AUTH=PLAIN for anonymous connections).  See the
sample CAPABILITY outputs I posted previously:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/72654>
