If the message header has been downloaded already (due to (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers t), perhaps), then hitting ^ will show that message and all will be fine. But if the message header has NOT been downloaded already, then Gnus fetches the message by giving the message id, and then assigns an arbitrary article number of -1. But ticking needs the real article number. This problem should be solved, but it is not trivial: due to crossposting and Followup-To, the article fetched with ^ might come from a different group entirely.
