This issue might have been caused by me setting gnus-propagate-marks to
t.  Since I've found out that for nnimap marks are propagated no matter
that variable, I stick with the default of nil again.  Since that, I've
lost the connection to gmane at least twice, but after reopening the
connection in *server* my read marks where all ok.

Bye,
