Of course, this could have something to do with it:

(defun gnus-1 (&optional arg dont-connect slave)
  ....
    (gnus-splash)
    (gnus-clear-system)
    (run-hooks 'gnus-before-startup-hook)
    (nnheader-init-server-buffer)
    (setq gnus-slave slave)
    (gnus-read-init-file)
  ....
)

This would seem to say that nothing that gets put in
gnus-before-startup-hook by .gnus will get run (on the first gnus
invocation, at least).  Do we need a gnus-after-dotgnus-hook?

As an aside, some little ad exec somewhere apparently decided that it
would be fun to put a spotlight on a truck with ads in front of the
light, and to have that truck drive around the city at about 5mph with
the spotlight at about 25 degrees above horizontal.  (Think of it as
an overhead projector on steroids).  This would be fine except for the 
fact that we tend to have tall buildings here.  If I get that damn
light in my eyes again, I'm gonna start throwing heavy things it.
There.  I feel much better now.
