I've tried edebugging gnus-summary-enter-digest-group and
gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group and still do not understand why the
parameters set for it get lost when entering a digest within the
virtual group.  Here's the entry for it in my .newsrc.eld:

("nnvirtual:comp.risks" 3
 ((1 . 25))
 ((seen 1 (4 . 7) 14 17 19 (21 . 23) 25) (dormant 1 (4 . 7) 14 22))
 (nnvirtual "^$\\|\\(^comp\\.risks$\\)\\|\\(^nnml:comp\\.risks$\\)")
 ((newsgroup . t) (gnus-use-threads nil)))

However, I tried (again) to use gnus-parameters to solve the problem
and this time it worked.  Setting gnus-parameters to
(("nnvirtual:comp.risks-.*" (gnus-show-threads nil))) explicitly sets
the parameter in the nndoc group (I still have to wonder if the prefix
not being changed from "nnvirtual" to "nndoc" has something to do with
the problem) and threading is turned off as desired.  I know I tried
this before, but probably messed up the regexp or some other form of
operator error.
