(gnus-reallocate-cache-numbers) ?
renumber according to message ID, 
(fetch ID from saved article, ask server for its number)
if the server doesn't have this one, allocate it REAL LOW
i.e: maybe starting from 1

I don't know if it's efficient, but it'd be smoothest for the user.

anyway,
added to the RED to-do ?

just asking,
albrecht
