Thanks.  I have now been setting that, and also using SIGUSR2, which has
worked for me when ^G did not (font-lock issues).

For a long time I tracked the gnus stable branch in git.  But now I am
using gnus included with emacs.

My impression is that gnus only exists within the emacs sources, and
doesn't have backwards compat, so these days essentially the only option
is to use the gnus that comes with the emacs one is using.
