Exactly the same thing happens.  Of course, the message I see is
neither "No unread articles" nor "no articles" but rather "No unread
news".  In the *Messages* buffer I see the following:

Retrieving newsgroup: INBOX.spam...
nnimap: Updating info for INBOX.spam...done
Fetching headers for INBOX.spam...done
No unread news

If I go into the server browser for the IMAP server, I see the
INBOX.spam box listed with 24 messages (probably the correct number
which I've put in there).  I also found that if I unsubscribed from
the INBOX.spam group, then I could browse the group through the gnus
server browser -- an action which led me to a 'mail-ephemeral:Inbox.spam'
buffer with the messages in it, while *Messages* shows:

nnimap: Generating active list for mail...done
Reading active file...done
Connecting to mail...done
Opening nnimap server on mail-ephemeral...
imap: Connecting to mail...
Waiting for response from mail...done
imap: Connecting to mail...done
imap: Authenticating to `mail' using `login'...
imap: Plaintext authentication...
imap: Authenticating to `mail' using `login'...done
Opening nnimap server on mail-ephemeral...done
Retrieving newsgroup: nnimap+mail-ephemeral:INBOX.spam...
nnimap: Updating info for nnimap+mail-ephemeral:INBOX.spam...done
nnimap: Updating info for nnimap+mail-ephemeral:INBOX.spam...done
nnimap: Setting marks in INBOX.spam...done
Fetching headers for nnimap+mail-ephemeral:INBOX.spam...done
Generating summary...done



This all seems a bit odd...

Hm.  So C-u RET also can't enter the group.  Strange.  What might be
wrong?

Hm.  Oh, does it help to do `J u' on the group, then enter it?
