What does (macroexpand '(gnus-group-real-name
"nnimap+mail:INBOX.Mailinglisten.LWN")) return?

You might also try (progn (debug) (gnus-group-real-name
"nnimap+mail:INBOX.Mailinglisten.LWN")) so that you can step into the
macro expansion.  That can be fairly ugly but this may be an expansion
error rather than an evaluation error.
