I kind of fixed the problem, still I would like to know what is
supposed to happen and where it is documented...

The problem was with the gnus-group-charset-alist which had among
others the following setting (default if I understand correctly):

("^fido7\\>" koi8-r)

so that made it look for koi8-r charset (whatever that means), and as
it failed gnus chose to not display anything at all... seems wrong to
me somehow, but maybe I'm missing somethig.

Removing the above line from alist fixed things.
