Yes, I've been suffering this problem with the agent for years and
years. The only remedy I've found is to occasionally run
`gnus-agent-expire-group' manually when looking at the Summary Buffer
within the afflicted mailbox group. I don't know why this function
doesn't get run automatically, or more frequently. Sometimes it's the
only way not only to get rid of these "ghost articles", but also to make
the articles that arrived and were noticed outside of Gnus available
within Gnus.
