I believe you can manually replace all the
#("XXX" 0 1 (invisible t))
with
""
to fix it. Where XXX is the binary 0x200E.
Why this happened is that you used Gnus compiled with Emacs that
provided the function `string-mark-left-to-rigth'. But it's been
renamed into `bidi-string-mark-left-to-rigth' in 2011-08-18, and
newly compiled Gnus will never use it. I don't know what it is
for, so I have no idea to settle this problem appropriately.
