I think there is an expectation that if Gnus is started plugged it should
be able to get the article count from the server. If you think about it
for a bit, it becomes obvious that there is no way to ensure that the count
will be accurate. It just appears to be a bug and gets brought up in
gnu.emacs.gnus every now and then.
