I've managed to work around the problem.

The maillist.debian.laptop entry in my ~/.newsrc.eld was:

> 	 ("maillist.debian.laptop" 2
> 	  ((1 . 6080))
> 	  ((dormant
> 	    (1 . 3)

When I changed the
  "nnml:"
back to
  (nnml "")
I was able to use gnus-no-server.

It appears that all the new method-backend pairs are being written as
  "method:backend"
instead of
  (method "backend")

I supposed this is the New And Improved way?  What should my nnml
entries look like?  What about nndir entries, which currently look
like
  (nndir "e:/mthomas/mail/CMU/" (nndir-directory "e:/mthomas/mail/CMU"))

Cheers,
