I also use 2 pop servers and noticed this behaviour too. To my amazement I
found that with my setup

(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news  nil  60)
;(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-mail    5 nil)
(gnus-demon-init)

the mail from the pop servers *is* retrieved and stored in the mail folders
indicated by nnmail-split-fancy.  My guess is that the scan-mail demon is
intended for 'real' mail files.

Cheers,
Karel
