Eh, and what happens for people (like me incidentally :-) who use an
alternate gnus-post-method ?

What I've got currently in my .gnus.el is:

(setq gnus-post-method '(nntp "news.enst.fr"))

because the "news.enst.fr" server doesn't work well, so I use it to
post only and read my news from "news.ext.jussieu.fr" which is
read-only.

If "C-c C-c" posts to the current server, then it defeats the purpose
of this variable!
