Yup, `gnus-server-to-method' fail to map a virtual server name to a
method if the server hasn't been opened (which typically would be the
case if you do `gnus-no-server'). Could you try this patch?
(Another fix would be to revert my patch in 0.52, but then you'd have
to fix `u' in the browse server buffer. And you also wouldn't have the
feature of being able to edit your `gnus-secondary-select-methods' and
have the new setting take effect on your old folders.)
