nnimap is wont to create servers for groups where it doesn't recognize
any known servers, and it's got to do `updating info for...' rather
than `checking mailbox...' in this case.  So maybe you were typing
something slightly different, and nnimap created a new server.

But as it turned out, you were typing something not different at all,
yet nnimap created the new server anyway!  I think that this is a
bug.  But I don't have two IMAP server, so I can't reproduce it.

Could you create a new account and try to set up nnimap for that
account and find the minimal config which will cause problems?  This
could help Simon to find the problem.  Also, be sure to use the newest
Gnus (5.8.3?) for this, but I think you're already using that.
