Did I ever ask for this? I just wanted to mark all articles, quickly.
I often use it.

M P a runs the command gnus-uu-mark-all
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-uu'.
(gnus-uu-mark-all)
Mark all articles in "series" order.

I am vaguely reading that you say that it is not a Gnus problem. I would
not think Gnus should ever raise an Emacs error because the Subject line is
unexpected. There is a lot of noise in the flurry of messages we receive,
and Gnus should be solid as rock against random subjects. At first glance,
I would believe that `M P a' should mark all articles, as its name implies.
