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?
