You meant `gnus-summary-reply-with-original' which is used in
the *SUMMARY* buffer.  In that case, the prefix argument is
interpreted as the number of articles to be replied.  I.e.,
since `C-u' is interpreted into 4, `C-u R' means replying to a
series of four articles.

cf. (info "(gnus)Summary Mail Commands")
    (info "(gnus)Process/Prefix")

this is `gnus-article-reply-with-original' which is used in the
*ARTICLE* buffer.  In the Gnus CVS trunk, I've changed it so as
not to accept the prefix argument.
