Please type slower; I'm not getting what you're saying.  :-)

   gmane.foo:   foo=lala,  bar=zot, gcc-self
   gmane.emacs: foo=emacs, bar=zot, no gcc-self

is exactly what I'd expect with those parameters.  The last setting
wins, so in gmane.emacs there's no gcc-self.  Since the last setting is
(gcc-self . nil).
