Isn't that because the whole argument to gnus-secondary-select-methods
is quoted? So the entire blob of:
((nnimap "work"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
(nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy)))
is being shoved, uneval'ed, into gnus-secondary-select-methods -- almost
as if it was a string (except it's not). What the rest of gnus then does
to g-s-s-m in order to discombooberate it into its component parts, I'm
not sure.
