That should have been sufficient. 

What do you get when you do the following in the group buffer?

M-: (gnus-agent-find-parameter "group-name-as-displayed-in-group-buffer" 'agent-short-article)

It should return your 150.

What does this return?
M-: (gnus-get-predicate (gnus-agent-find-parameter "group-name-as-displayed-in-group-buffer" 'agent-predicate))
