I found that my "nnml:テスト" group doesn't show up.  That is
the group I used to use for testing non-ASCII group names.
Only the `L' command is able to show it up in the group buffer,
but it indicates `*' for the number of articles even if its
group level is 1.

Removing this made Gnus work as before, too.  So far I don't
know why/how it does wrong, but I think we should remove it if
it is nonessential and nonurgent.  The function has already been
in the emacs-25 branch (for releasing Emacs 25.1).

WDYT Michael?
