Most of you should see in summary buffer my 'from' as:
aciej "SomthingHere" Matysiak
I mean, the first letter is eaten somehow.
In my gnus-summary-line-format I use %f.
Is this a bug, or misuse of "'s?

The " character is not valid where you use it according to the
standards. You should really call yourself
"Maciej \"SomethingHere\" Matysiak" <phoner@blah.pl>
and news readers should strip away the surrounding "'s and the \'s in
there.
Anyway. Gnus uses a very simple (and efficient) method to extract the
components. See the "Summary Buffer Format" node in the Gnus manual
for details on how to get correct results.

i supposed so, but i wasn't sure.

no no. i'm not using such scheme at all. i know it's evil. but one can't
teach all who are using pure "'s, and unfortunately there's quite a lot such
misbehaving people :(
