Ok, I have fixed that for me like by redefining g-s-n-g-t like that:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun gnus-summary-nnir-goto-thread ()
  "Redefines the function from nnir.el."
  (interactive)
  (unless (eq 'nnir (car (gnus-find-method-for-group gnus-newsgroup-name)))
    (error "Can't execute this command unless in nnir group."))
  (let* ((cur (gnus-summary-article-number))
         (group (nnir-artlist-artitem-group nnir-artlist cur))
         (mid (mail-header 'message-id
                           (progn
                             (gnus-summary-select-article t)
                             (with-current-buffer gnus-article-buffer
                               (goto-char (point-min))
                               (mail-header-extract-no-properties))))))
    (gnus-group-read-group 1 t group nil)
    (gnus-summary-refer-article mid)
    (gnus-summary-refer-thread)
    ;; TODO: Is there nothing like limiting to the current thread?
    ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This works good for me and maybe it's the right approach, too.  I don't
quite understand why nnir uses an epheneral group and black article
number magic while Gnus will do the right thing given a message-id
anyway.

Comments?
