Yes, but you said that Gnus got confused because it knew it created
it, but I deleted it. But there is no way that Gnus can know that it
created it, as far as I can tell, since I've deleted all traces of it.

No, as I've described. In all of my testing, I have had
gnus-m-archive-method set to one thing or another (never left
unset), and still gnus gives me lots of errors now. I don't
know how to fix it so I can proceed without errors. Somehow
my weird set-up with two servers with the same name worked,
but I'd prefer to not go back to that.
