I tried to reproduce this, but was not able to.

I'm using "GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of
2002-03-26 on PCNIKLAS2", gnus CVS and nnimap. FWIW I have
never seen the problem you are describing.

However, trying to eval this (as you described in
<uvfzesa8p.fsf@boost-consulting.com>) from your
updated mailabbrev.el:

(define-abbrev mail-abbrevs name definition 'mail-abbrev-expand-hook 0 t)

gives me an error as well.

But mailabbrev isn't part of gnus, it's part of emacs. If
you upgrade only some parts of emacs to CVS and not the
rest it is not surprising that it doesn't work. In the
mailabbrev.el that comes with emacs 21.2.1 the call is:

(define-abbrev mail-abbrevs name definition 'mail-abbrev-expand-hook)))

which works fine.
