The docs say:
If non-nil, Gnus will store and retrieve marks from the backends.
This means that marks will be stored both in .newsrc.eld and in
the backend, and will slow operation down somewhat.
The default value is nil. But for IMAP, will Gnus still store the
maps in the backend? Or do I need to set this?
If this is t, should it say something about which set of marks takes
precedence?
And how does this relate to nnfolder-marks-is-evil?
(And the docs should probably say what happens when the variable is
nil. Presumably the marks are stored only in the .newsrc.eld, right?)

Yes. It's for other backends that store marks locally.

It's the same thing, only Gnus-wide.

Yes, the marks are always stored in the .newsrc.eld...
