Excuse me, if this message will have appeared as a duplicate.
I just repeat my yesterday's attempt to post a solution (from another server):

Inheritance isnt possible because of 
`article-strip-banner' function used `gnus-group-get-parameter'
instead of `gnus-group-find-parameter'. After substitution the last
one `banner' have been inherited (at least for me).
My patch (to gnus-5.8.6)

P.S

Maybe there're some russian gnusers that will be wanted for
debannering `citycat.ru' mailing lists. My group parameter for this:

((to-address . "namma@citycat.ru")
 (broken-reply-to . t)
 (banner . "\n+\\(^      óÌÕÖÂÁ òÁÓÓÙÌÏË çÏÒÏÄÓËÏÇÏ ëÏÔÁ / CityCat's E-mail Service\n-[*]--------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\\)\\(^.*\n\\)*\\(^------------------------------------------------------------------------[+][+]-\\)\n"))

Applied.  Please test.  (I don't use banners.)
