It seems a wreck of Semi-gnus in your .newsrc.eld file.
Please try
M-x remove-semi-gnus-stuff-from-quick-startup-file
and then restart Emacs and Gnus 5.8. Where the function definition is
below:
(defvar gnus-startup-file "~/.newsrc")
(defun remove-semi-gnus-stuff-from-quick-startup-file ()
(interactive)
(let ((eld (concat gnus-startup-file ".eld"))
(backup (concat gnus-startup-file ".eld.backup")))
(or (file-exists-p backup)
(copy-file eld backup))
(with-temp-buffer
(let ((coding-system-for-read 'binary)
(coding-system-for-write 'binary))
(insert-file-contents eld)
(if (search-forward "(setq gnus-format-specs" nil t)
(progn
(delete-region (goto-char (match-beginning 0))
(progn (forward-list) (point)))
(write-region (point-min) (point-max) eld)))))))
