I think most of your problems stem from the fact that the string
gnus-posting-style-alist appears nowhere in the pgnus-0.95 *.el files.

In the info file, it is documented that each posting style consists of
a first element, the match, and subsequent elements, the attributes.
Each attribute is a (NAME VALUE) pair (note the missing dot) where the
name can be a symbol (only `signature', `signature-file',
`organization', `address', `name' or `body' are allowed) or a string,
which is taken to be a header name.

Apparently, the VALUE is evaled if NAME is a string, but I'm not sure.
