It almost certainly is related.  I can not reproduce the problem using
the sequence provided.  Can you load the lisp files so that we get a
better stacktrace?  Just do the following before running gnus.

M-x load-library<ret>gnus-int.el<ret>
M-x load-library<ret>gnus-agent.el<ret>
M-x load-library<ret>nntp.el<ret>
