I'm absolutely sure. I hit F to find new groups on my local news server
and got the message "one group arrived", then I tried to U name.of.group
but Gnus told me "no match". Then I entered server buffer, hit <ret> with
point over the server (my only nntp server, no ssh connection) and all
old groups were shown with the correct names, only the new one had the
nntp+127.0.0.1: prefix.

The same error was reported in the German gnus newsgroup
de.comm.software.gnus, too. The guy there used AFAIK also a news server
running on localhost, perhaps this is an issue. An other possible reason
might be, that I fetch news from the same server (localhost) I fetch my
mail via pop3.

Here are the relevant parts of my .gnus:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "127.0.0.1"))
(require 'nnir)
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml "" (nnir-search-engine swish++)))
;;Woher kommen die Mails?
(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "localhost"
                          :user "******"
                          :password "******")))
(setq gnus-group-line-format "%P%M%S[%5t]%5y : %(%g%)\n")
