This problem affects Emacs 21.3.50 as well. Bug happens with certain
combinations of language environment and gnus-summary-line-format. And
in old gnus-sum.el this happens too. For me (Russian language
environment)

old gnus-sum.el: g-s-l-f "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n" doesn't
work, ":%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L %-23,23f%]%) %s" does.

new gnus-sum.el: "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n" does work,
":%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L %-23,23f%]%) %s" doesn't.

Cyrillic-* and Vietnamese language environments affected. Maybe there's
more.
