Are you sure you used the exact same query  against dejanews?
pc-buf

Trying here a few more times I still get the nesting error.

Capturing the minibuffer output is an ancient yet secret trick known
only to 3 people in the world.  So after I tell you, you can expect
the black helicopters in a day or two.

After the messages scroll by, press C-x b *M<SPC> <RET>  To see the
*Messages* buffer.   Gnus will probably remove the asterisks and
boldify the words they surround so to see what needs to be typed press 
C-u g on this message to see the raw message.

Or   C-x b <asterisk>M<SPC> <RET>  to see 
<asterisk>Messages<asterisk> buffer.
