No, that should be ok.
What does the following eval to?
(gnus-server-equal
(gnus-find-method-for-group "news.admin.misc")
(gnus-find-method-for-group "news.admin.technical"))

Yes. If you give a virtual server as the select method, only the
server name will be stored in the group info. If you give a backend
name and a server name, the select method itself will be stored in the
group info.
