How are you at debugging lisp?  If you do the following, you should be
able to debug gnus to see what is going wrong (It's not
nnagent-request-type itself but an interaction between it,
gnus-online, gnus-get-function, and gnus-agent-get-function).

M-x load-library <ret>gnus<ret>
M-x load-library <ret>gnus-agent.el<ret>
M-x load-library <ret>gnus-int.el<ret>
M-x load-library <ret>gnus.el<ret>
M-x load-library <ret>nnagent.el<ret>
M-x debug-on-entry <ret>nnagent-request-type<ret>
