After a recent pull (first after a long time) I got hit by undefined
function gnus-get-text-property-excluding-characters-with-faces being
used from within gnus-group.el.
This function is defined in gnus-util so maybe gnus-group should require
gnus-util?

gnus-group.el requires gnus.el, which requires gnus-util.el, so that
shouldn't be possible. My guess would be that you have an old version
of gnus-util loaded before you load Gnus.

This sounds like the same thing I reported a couple weeks ago. If you are on Fedora 19 (at least) the provided emacs has an old gnus-util compiled in. My workaround is to explicitly load gnus-util in my .gnus.el file. require won't cut it since it's already provided. I've been meaning to report this as a bug to Fedora but haven't got around to it yet.

Geez. That's not good. Anybody know why they'd do something like that?

Yup.

I have now reported it as a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com. Bug ID is 991625.

Still a bug (I believe anyway) but it's not what I thought. I wasn't aware that emacs -q didn't also prevent loading of site-start.el. When running emacs --no-site-file, gnus-util is not provided and Ma gnus works without need for any other workaround. I've updated the bug report to indicate that the issue is in the site-start.el that Fedora provides.
