I guess that's a bug.

Actually, the first part is the backend, and the second part is the
"server address".

If this select method already appears in gnus-secondary-select-methods
or was defined in the *Server* buffer as a foreign server, then
"nndir:e:/mthomas/mail/CMU/" should work.  The point is that only the
identifying information is copied into all the references to the
server; the attributes of the server that you might want to change
from time to time are stored in only one place, so you don't have to
worry about keeping multiple copies in sync.
