I see this too. Sometimes it starts working again if I visit a group,
other times that fails too so I have to restart gnus.

If I remember correctly, imap-ping-server was introduced a while ago to
work around a similar problem. Before executing an IMAP command, gnus
will do a ping to check that the connection is still alive, and
reconnect if the connection is dead. Perhaps the changes to speed up 'g'
lately made it take another path that doesn't do this extra check?
