I don't understand -- the new function calls
`gnus-group-fast-parameter' which does funcall
`gnus-group-get-parameter-function' so all seems fine.

Setting the `dummy' parameter on the top-level "Gnus" topic and then
calling (gnus-group-find-parameter "nnimap+yxa:INBOX" 'dummy) works
for me.  Can you elobarate on what it is that is not working?
