It makes no difference no matter which Emacs version I use. I've also
tried it with Gnus 5.6.26 and 5.6.27.

I previously reported that Gnus gets headers and articles for all
groups whether they're covered by Agent or not.

I've had a chance to examine this more closely and it appears that if
a group is not covered by Agent then Gnus downloads all the articles
that conform to the "default" score predicate. Once it reaches the
last article that conforms it hangs. However it shouldn't be
downloading anything at all as the group isn't covered by Agent.

I used "nntp-log" to view the actions that Gnus took and the downloaded
articles were in the "nntpd" buffer. The "Gnus agent overview" buffer held 
the overview file of the group.
