To be absolutely honest, I can't think of any way for the agent to
mess up this selectively.

David, please make a backup of your group's .overview and .agentview
files before executing gnus-agent-regenerate-group.  You should then
be able to compare the old/new versions to see what regenerate
changed.  If you can tell me what regenerate is fixing, it may help me
understand what is breaking.
