Taking that one step further (as I am wont to do), I put the following
in my ~/.gnus:

(defadvice gnus-group-get-new-news (around gnus-group-get-new-news-with-default-level act)
  "Calls gnus-group-get-new-news with a default level if none provided"
  (if (not arg)
	  (setq arg gnus-activate-level))
  ad-do-it)

*Now* it works like I thought it should.... :)

I looked again, and neither this variable nor my above advice change
the fact that all of my IMAP groups are "checked" on startup.  I'm not
100% sure what "checked" actually means; it just takes time.
