Maybe so.  But if the two are eq, how can it happen that Gnus behaves
differently?!?

But maybe Gnus uses gnus-method-equal directly on the two strings?
Hm.  Anyway:

/----

I'm not sure what this means.  But I observe:

/----
| ELISP> (gnus-server-equal "quimby" "nntp:quimby")
| t
\----

Fascinating.
