Are you sure you've moved *all* the articles?  Including dormant,
read, etc?  Enter the group with - RET (that's a minus, followed by
return), then M P a (`gnus-uu-mark-all') and B m.

If that doesn't work, create a scratch group, move all the articles
to it, then leave and re-enter the original group.  Re-entry will
only be possible if there are articles remaining to be moved.  When
no articles remain, move them all back to the original group; there
should be no gaps.

Other things that may help diagnose the problem - in the group
buffer, use G E to examine the group properties.  There shouldn't
be any references to out-of-range article numbers.  If there's a
bug, this may help narrow it down.
