: Try (setq gnus-build-sparse-threads 'some). It didn't work for me
: either before I used this setting.

Hmm...I just tried setting that value and I got the same behavior
(can't fetch a parent news article even though I _know_ it hasn't
expired yet).  On a whim, I tried running gnus (5.8.4) without any of
my config files loaded and it's also exhibiting this weird behavior.
Bug perhaps?  (No, never!... ;-)
