I trust Gnus hashtb<->alist conversion functions have no problem.

I suspected function gnus-gnus-to-quick-newsrc-format is the culprit.

As Handa said, # (blah blah ...) is representation of string with text
properties.
I had a test by removing all # and leave "0 40 (auto-composed nil)", and
gnus registry works.

In gnus-start.el function gnus-gnus-to-quick-newsrc-format line 2841
,----
|            (print-readably t)
`----
I juct checked. At least in my Emacs 23 (06-9-15 cvs), variable
print-readably does not exist.

I nearly damaged my brain by reading code of prin1/princ/print.

At last I think gnus-gnus-to-quick-newsrc-format should be ok. It does
what it should do, even the result is bad.

A silly question: 
If an entry in gnus-reristry-alist carries text-property, prin1 will
print it as string and use # as quoting character. Is it right?

If so, I think we need check all puthash (to gnus-registry-hashtb) in
gnus-registry.el for unremoved text property.

My knowledge is not adquate for real useful finding. Wish what I found
can be a little useful to you.
