FWIW, this is in an nnimap group.  It's happened with versions of Gnus
from the CVS HEAD ever since I started using Gnus a couple years ago,
and likewise with builds of Emacs from the CVS HEAD for the past
couple years.

I use `^' from my *Group* buffer and then I put the point on my nnimap
server and hit return.  Then I use 'u' in the... wait.  Now it's not
happening anymore.  I do have two groups marked with 'K' in the
left-hand column (what does that mean?), but the rest are either
marked with 'U' or blank.

This is *really* confusing.
