Oh yeah ... I did that ages ago and forgot about it.  But why would
that be causing a problem after working fine for many months?  It's a
pretty simple defadvice.

Here it is:

 ;; Wrap `gnus-summary-read-group' so that `gnus-auto-select-next'
 ;; gets set according to `no-auto-select-pattern'

 (defadvice gnus-summary-read-group (around gnus-summary-read-group freeze)
   ad-do-it
   (setq gnus-auto-select-next
	 (not (and gnus-newsgroup-name
		   (string-match no-auto-select-pattern
                                 gnus-newsgroup-name)))))

I did this because it seemed at the time that there was no other way
to selectively set `gnus-auto-select-next' based upon the name of the
newsgroup.  I tried all the hooks (yes, I really did try *all* of
them), but none of them could be used to cause the
`gnus-auto-select-next' setting to be recognized and acted upon in a
group-specific manner.  And I tried lots of other things as well,
before finally giving up and using the defadvice.

But this was a long time ago.  Perhaps now is there a way to do this,
after all?

Thanks in advance.
