It now looks like the msg is not deleted when put into the cache,
just that 'tick' is cleared and msg becomes 'O' which makes it
not show up in my default summary.  Tick'ing it again after this
looks fine until I exit group and re-enter.  Cached article is
still not ticked.

I have gnus-use-cache set to 'passive.  Setting it to t does not
change this behavior.

Should cache'd articles preserve tick state of the original?
Or is tick state saved w/ original article only and lost when
original article is deleted?

Basically, I just want the summary to default to unread, ticked
and cached articles.  Maybe there is a better way to do this...
