It did, but as I found a way around the bug, I did not reply, sorr.

No, I'm on OS X.

I've looked at the site-start.el files (both from the provided emacs
and from my homebrew installation) and they do not mention
gnus-util. I've started emacs with the '-q' option and I don't see it in
the features variable.
This may be a bug local only to my setup, but I'm not sure how to
investigate it.
Best,
Alan
