Works for me. TRAMP gets loaded but doesn't get in my way. I remember
there were some changes made to TRAMP loading/startup last week, but
they shouldn't be related, I think.

Perhaps you tweaked the value of `tramp-file-name-regexp'? That's the
default I'm using here:

,----
| tramp-file-name-regexp is a variable defined in `tramp.el'.
| Its value is "\\`/[^/:]+:"
`----

Both Gnus and Emacs are CVS snapshots from last saturday here.

,----[ C-h v gnus-version RET ]
| gnus-version is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is "No Gnus v0.6"
`----

,----[ C-h v emacs-version RET ]
| emacs-version is a variable defined in `version.el'.
| Its value is "22.0.50.1"
`----

Bye,
Tassilo
