It's not going to reappear... Done with the following explanation. Kai recently asked for a new SUMMARY command that would fetch articles per the current group's category and predicate. If you do the original fetch session in the group buffer, unfetchable articles are quietly marked as read. If you use the new command to fetch the group whose summary you are examining, the unfetchable articles are not marked as read. I should mark them as canceled.
