Well, the code that you include below is not the same as the code I
have.  I don't even have gnus-newsgroup-unexist there, so I'm guessing
that v5.13 simply doesn't have the necessary magic and everything is
basically working as expected given that there's no unexist handling.

expirable in that context just has (1 2 3 4 5 ...); (length expirable)
is 261091.  So, yeah.

Anyway, I guess I need to move to something newer.  Time to explore git
gnus.  Haven't tracked the development version since, well, sometime
last century.
