This might be related to this change:

Did you change/customize the variable `gnus-user-agent'?  Normally the
code after "Convert old (< 2005-01-10) symbol type values:" in gnus.el
should take care of this.

Which value(s) does the variable have (see `C-h v gnus-user-agent
RET') before starting Gnus and after Gnus has been loaded?

Please do `M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET', reproduce the problem and
show us the lisp backtrace.

Bye, Reiner.
