That is the problem then.

Yup.

Actually, the bug is how (nnimap "foo") ever got into your setup.
The server (nnimap "foo") isn't the same as (nnimap "foo" (nnimap-port
...) ...), and Gnus will treat them as different servers.
Consequently, (nnimap "foo") is treated as an ephemeral server, and
checked using the slow mechanism (I forgot the reason as to why, but
it is probably because it is simpler to optimize the primary/secondary
case).
