When you create the server, Gnus asksk you for the name. The string
you give is used for both the name and the address. But then you can
edit the server to change the address.

I think that means that either I've misunderstood and misexplained
things, or there's a bug in Gnus. Try this:
(eq (gnus-server-to-method "quimby") (gnus-server-to-method "nntp:quimby"))
If they are eq, then presumably Gnus is using something other than
gnus-server-to-method to interpret the server names in group infos -
maybe this is a bug. If they are not eq, then I've misunderstood
something.

No, I wouldn't expect that to work.
