The last line shows that gnus-activate-group sees the right group
name, but the first line shows that nnir-request-group does not see
the right group name.  Why?

Can you M-x load-library RET gnus-start.el RET and so on until you get
a backtrace without byte code?  Maybe we can see something there.

I wonder what is messing with the group name.
