Perhaps there should be an explicit "make this article persistant"
command to avoid other side-effects of using caching?  Yes, I think
I'll add that to the todo list.  I think those articles should be
marked with "P"; so they're marked as read, perhaps.  Or perhaps
they're a special kind of dormant articles?  Or perhaps they're just
normal dormant articles?  A `gnus-persistant-dormant-articles'
variable to control whether all dormant articles should be cached,
perhaps?

That's been fixed in September, I think.

I haven't heard of that bug before... could you send me a bug report?
