Oh yuck, this lead me to the "FIX FIX FIX" code comment in nnvirtual:
nnvirtual-retrieve-headers forces gnus-use-cache to t when it calls back
to gnus-retrieve-headers. So it's insisting you use the cache, even if
you have that set to nil. This code is at least 25 years old, and I
would need to spend a bit of time with it to understand why it's doing
this. Probably I should open a bug report and see if Lars still
remembers what's going on there.
Another reason to use nnselect instead!
