I am getting the same error in pgnus 0.71 on an ntEmacs 20.3.1.
Is this similar to the error ntemacs users were getting back in the 0.50's
due to the coding system? I can't quite remember.
The summary buffer is created, but Gnus never writes anything to it. The
message in my draft folder is from 0.69, if that means anything.

It doesn't work even if the messages are from 0.71 ...

Hm. Have you set mail-parse-charset to the string "nil"?

Erm well C-h v mail-parse-charset gives
mail-parse-charset's value is
nil
Which seems to be correct according to the variables description. This
kind of brings up something I've been meaning to ask for a while, when
pgnus undergoes radical changes where do we find out what we have to do
to keep our .gnus working? Changelog only? or is there something I'm
missing?

I haven't had to make any significant changes to my startup files in
order to keep pgnus working. I have made a couple to take advantage
of new features, but that's it.
If one makes heavy changes to their ~/.gnus.el and also uses alpha
software, they should be prepared to read the code to find changes if
need be.

Oh I quite agree, and that's generally what I've done, and obviously
asked for help when I became stuck :) I was just wondering if there was
anywhere other than the Changelog and the conversations on here that I
should have been looking. It wasn't a complaint about lack of support
or anything like that, merely a question in passing ...

My mail-parse-charset is nil. Also note the documentation on this
variable (emacs 20.3). Does xemacs expect the user to set this variable?
mail-parse-charset's value is
nil
Documentation:
Default charset used by low-level libraries.
This variable should never be set. Instead, it should be bound by
functions that wish to call mail-parse functions and let them know
what the desired charset is to be.

I have found the culprit. At some point down the list of things that
happen before mm-decode-coding-region is called, gnus asks for information
about the group with gnus-get-info.
When this function is run on the "nndraft:drafts" group, here is the info I
get back:
("nndraft:drafts" 1
((1 . 4))
nil
(nndraft "")
((charset . "nil")
(gnus-dummy
(gnus-draft-mode))))
Note that charset is "nil," not nil or empty. My other groups have no
charset in their group description.
Now that I understand this the solution is simple: go to the nndraft group,
do 'G E' and remove the charset entry from the group parameters. Viola!
Problem solved.

Hmm, just as a side note, where is mm-decode-coding-region actually
defined because I can't actually find it. Hmm. Mind I didn't look too
far, but a grep on *.el in pgnus-0.71/lisp didn't reveal any defun lines
...

It's defined by the `eval-and-compile' form in mm-util.
