Well, how about if we incorporate message-x in Gnus, remove
message-expand-group and add instead an alist of abbrev expansion
thingies.  Like:

(defvar message-header-expansion-functions
   ("^\\(Newsgroups\\|Followup-To\\|Posted-To\\|Gcc\\):" message-x-expand)
   ("Some-other: " other-expanding-function))

If none of these match, then we call `tab-to-tab-stop', which will do
the abbrev abbrev expansion.
