This isn't a known behaviour, to me at least.

Oort Gnus introduced ".marks" files for nnml which move the
information stored in .newsrc.eld into a file within each group.

But nntp groups doesn't grok it, so if you have this problem in both
nnml and nntp something else is causing it.  Could you make a M-x
gnus-bug RET report so we can see what your config is?  Do you have a
backup of your files, and can reproduce this behaviour?  What does `G
E' say for a group which lost all its marks, in 5.9.0, and in Oort
after starting it the first time, and in Oort after trying to enter
the group?
