A new convert to Gnus is using 5.8.3 under XEmacs 20.4 on Linux. His
setup seems to include no concept of the drafts group. When he is
editing a message and saves it, Gnus offers to save it in his home
directory, and needs an explicit filename (no default is present). I
tried manually creating the drafts group for him with `G m', but this
seems to have had no effect; `C-x C-s' in a *message* buffer still
asks for where to save under ~/.
I've not seen this sort of trouble before. Any clues as to what might
be going on here?

A dumb question: are you sure M-x gnus is picking up the correct Gnus
version? XEmacs 20.4 came with an older Gnus.
Second, evaluate (buffer-file-name) and see what it returns. It
should be something like: "/home/<user>/News/drafts/drafts/148".
If that fails, use edebug to find out how things misfail. What's
*supposed* to happen is that message-mode calls
message-set-auto-save-file-name, which uses
nndraft-request-associate-buffer to set the buffer file name to the
correct thing.
