I don't understand -- in my procmail setup, procmail writes to .spool
files that Gnus incorporates as new mail. So how can you write to the
same .spool file (so that Gnus puts them in the same group you mailed
from) and avoid file locking problems?

FWIW, this is what I finally settled on, and it appears to be doing
what I want so far.

(setq gnus-outgoing-message-group 'mdb-file-mail)

(defun mdb-file-mail()
  (if (message-mail-p)
    (save-excursion
      (set-buffer "*Group*")
      (gnus-group-group-name))))
