You're correct.

When we had a similar discussion last month, something about this was
mentioned, but it went over my head.  I just reread the thread, and
saw again the comments about a procmail NOV hack, which I assume
add-active-nov is referring to.  I don't see a reference to it in
either the Gnus, XEmacs lisp source, nor procmail 3.10 source (or
dejanews for that matter).

Exactly.  You end up with two messages with identical message-ids
going into the same nnml folder, one of which is now in a Gnus black
hole, and cannot be referenced reasonably, or two identical messages
going into the hyperarchive.
