Maybe it is sufficient to just put `server' inside the or statement,
rather than calling gnus-netrc-machine twice? It seems to be
cleaner, if it works.

Phew.
Anyhow, server is the server name, so the xyzzy in (nnimap "xyzzy"
...), right? And nnimap-address is the like-named server parameter,
right? But what is nnimap-server-address?
I believe that, given (nnimap "foo" (nnimap-address "bar") ...), Gnus
should first look for a foo entry, then for a bar entry. Not sure if
it should also look for any other entries.
Hm. nnimap-server-address is an obsolete variable, I just see. So
maybe it should be looked at last?
So my proposal, without having tested anything:
(or server nnimap-address nnimap-server-address)
