I've noticed this as well and reported it to gnus-bug.  This is only a
problem for me in nnvirtual groups, however, I haven't seen it happen in
nnml groups, for example.  Have you seen it in non-nnvirtual groups?
Assuming it's nnvirtual-only, I assume that it stems from the funky article 
numbering stuff that goes on in nnvirtual.el.
