It looks they are the same bug.  Maybe it is not a Gnus bug.
Probably, something wrong with coding-category-list.  What is the
value?  And what is the result if you evaluate 
(symbol-value (car coding-category-list)) ?

coding-category-list's value is 
(coding-category-utf-16-le coding-category-utf-16-be coding-category-utf-8 coding-category-ccl coding-category-iso-8-1 coding-category-iso-8-2 coding-category-iso-7-tight coding-category-iso-7 coding-category-iso-7-else coding-category-iso-8-else coding-category-emacs-mule coding-category-raw-text coding-category-sjis coding-category-big5 coding-category-binary)

 ZSH> And what is the result if you evaluate (symbol-value (car
 ZSH> coding-category-list)) ?

(symbol-value (car coding-category-list))
nil

Something wrong with Mule-UCS.  I got the following result in Emacs 21
w/ Mule-UCS 0.81.

(car coding-category-list) => coding-category-utf-16-le
(symbol-value (car coding-category-list)) => utf-16-le

Probably, you should update or reinstall Mule-UCS.

i tried to compile the current version of mule-ucs, and got an error
(i reported it to mule mailing list); i also tried to recompile an
older version of mule-ucs (snapshot of 2000-03-12), -- it compiled
without errors, but gnus behaved identically as with the same versino
of mule-ucs compiled using emacs 20.6 (i.e. an error when fetching
pop3 is there).

Best,
