OK, excellent, now we're getting somewhere. Thanks!

Now I notice you used (and I copied you) "nnmail-split-fancy" instead of
"nnimap-split-fancy". Is that because the precise name of that is
arbitrary? Could I call it "fiendishly-difficult-thing-to-grasp"?

If so that would answer my next question which is, how do I have
different fancy split methods for different servers, in the case (like
mine in reality) where there are multiple secondary select methods. Is
it OK to have:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
       '(
         (nnimap "work"
                 ...
                 (nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy-work)
          )
         (nnimap "home"
                 ...
                 (nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy-home)
          )
         (nnimap "faff"
                 ...
                 (nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy-faff)
          )
         )
)
(setq nnmail-split-fancy-work '(| "TEST-GROUP"))
(setq nnmail-split-fancy-home '(| "TEST-GROUP")) ;; where this is a different TEST-GROUP from the above
(setq nnmail-split-fancy-faff '(| "TEST-GROUP-FAFF"))
