You're seeing the result of this change:

	* gnus-start.el (gnus-dribble-read-file): Set
	buffer-save-without-query, since we always want to save the dribble
	file, probably.

The rationale for the change was that it was pointed out that if you're
using Gnus in an Emacs where you're also doing development, `M-x
compile' (and friends) will constantly query you for whether to save the
dribble file.

Which is annoying.

The side effect is that Emacs no longer queries you on Emacs shutdown,
either, but...

I think the new behaviour is probably better than the old one, but I'm
not sure.  Opinions?
