In what circumstance doesn't Gnus recognise this charset?  It's another
name for "ASCII", and Gnus seems to treat it as such.

That is, when does Gnus say that it's an unknown charset?

Check your *Messages* buffer, Lars.
Unknown charset: ansi_x3.4-1968

Pipe the sample message at
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5458#5
into procmail and then read it in gnus.

I wouldn't have asked if I had gotten such a message.  I do not.

*When* do you get such a message?

Anyway, I just grepped for "Unknown charset", and there was just one
instance -- `mm-charset-to-coding-system' -- so I made that one map
ansi_x3.4 to ASCII.

LMI> *When* do you get such a message?

One only sees it if one just happens to look in the *Messages* buffer.
So the bug is even worse: a message that one never sees.
Maybe it was covered up by some other message too fast.

script(1) ... emacs -nw ... cat -v shows it indeed is put in the minibuffer.
Unknown charset: ansi_x3.4-1968^[[6;38H^[[?12l^[[?25h^[[39;1H^[[?25lStarting new Ispell process

So I'm glad you fixed and closed the bug. However you might want to
check why you didn't see it.
