Do you have this in your .gnus.el?  The syntax is wrong, and normally
you should get an error with that.  This would be correct:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq nnmail-split-methods
        '(("save.wyplay.bugs" "^From: bugzilla-daemon@.*")
          ("Inbox" "")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hm, I don't know how the prefix should interfer with the splitting.  Do
you provide a prefix value that includes or excludes those groups?

I use fancy mail splitting, and it works for me.  But I didn't test with
a prefix argument till now, because those two accounts I use nnml and
POP3 sources for are very low traffic.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
      nnmail-split-fancy
      '(| (any "tassilo.horn@gmx.de"     "gmx")
          (any "tassilo.horn@freenet.de" "freenet")
          "misc"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bye,
