Well, if Gnus starts writing articles with low numbers, that's a clear
indication that it has gotten confused.  Have you been real careful
with nnml-generate-nov-databases?  Such as setting nnml-get-new-mail
to nil before you invoked a new Gnus for this command?

Try this:

  - Quit Gnus, quit Emacs
  - Remove all .overview files
  - Put (setq nnml-get-new-mail nil) in .gnus or .emacs
  - Start Emacs
  - Start Gnus
  - Do nnml-generate-nov-databases
  - Exit Gnus, exit Emacs
  - Remove the (setq nnml-get-new-mail nil)

In particular: do nothing else between starting Gnus and running
nnml-generate-nov-databases!

Do a sanity check on the .overview files.  Do they contain the right
message numbers?
