Hm. I tried to reproduce this from an empty account, but I get:
(gnus-group-set-info '("gnu.misc.discuss" 3 ((1 . 47007))))
(gnus-group-set-info '("gnu.misc.discuss" 3 ((1 . 47007))))
(gnus-group-set-info '("gnu.misc.discuss" 3 ((1 . 47007))))
And I'm unable to get any interference between the nnml group and the
nntp group.

That value is only mentioned in the obsolete `gnus-nntpserver-file'
variable. I've now marked it as such.
As for why nntp doesn't look in that file... Uhm... Is it used much?
