that's something happening to me as well.

i have seven imap accounts configured within gnus in the same fashion:
the inbox folders are set to level one, all the other folders are set to level three.

gnus displays correctly the nnimap level one groups, whilst showing stars
for level three ones. on server buffer all the backend are correctily open.
M-g fix the issue. other backends don't show such behaviour.

gnus-activate-level is default to six. i currently run no gnus v0.18 in
aquamacs 2.4 (which is based on emacs 23.3.50.1), but i had the issue
with aquamacs 2.3 and emacs up to 24.0.91.1.
