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.
