Well ... I did get this to work in an embarrassingly hackish
manner, which I'm too ashamed to post but will share with
anyone who has the same obscure issue.
In any case hacking mailabbrev.el, which is not part of Gnus,
might be out of scope for this mailing list. Certainly,
putting Gnus specific code into mailabbrev.el, which is what I
did, is unacceptable for general use.
I'm still seeking a way to do this within Gnus, where it
belongs, but it looks to be non-trivial for someone at my
admittedly non-stellar skill level.
