Answering myself, and asking more knowledgable Gnus users, do you think

(define-key gnus-group-mode-map "\C-j" "\C-m")
(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "\C-j" "\C-m")

in my .gnus is the right "fix" for the issue ?

This isn't a Gnus problem, it is a bug in XEmacs 21.5 [1].  As a work
around, simply eval something in the scratch buffer _before_ you do
anything else.  It doesn't matter what you eval, you could even:

    () C-j

  njsf> Which keymaps should I change ?

None.  You can't anyway.

As it is an XEmacs bug, no.

No, see my previous post in this thread.
