Ahh, there's the problem.  I noticed that `C-u A k' was broken in some
version of sgnus, and it was later fixed.  It's possible that it's
also broken in 5.x.x.  If you're willing, give sgnus a shot, it's
working fine for me.

You might even be able to replace the function gnus-group-list-killed
in 5.0.13 with the one in sgnus-0.40, but I wouldn't bet on it working.
