It should not be -- Gnus uses `gnus-server-equal' to see whether two
servers are equal or not, and it should understand both formats.

What does

(gnus-server-equal
 '(nnml "rlb"
         (nnml-directory "~/.gnus/mail/incoming")
         (nnml-active-file "~/.gnus/mail/incoming/active"))
 "nnml:rlb")

evaluate to?
