Yes, indeed.

I have no idea since `/ N' behaves like it should for me.  If new
messages have arrived, they are inserted and the rest of the *Summary*
buffer is unchanged.  If no new messages have arrived, gnus responds

"No gnus is bad news".

The *Summary* buffer is not changed at all.

Are you certain you haven't set any variables that influence this?
