Yes, the problem seems correlated to [followups to] posts made from
info-gnus-english-mXXj517/zsQ@public.gmane.org, as opposed to the Gmane or Google Groups
routes.  It's still noticeable, although not as frequently, with my
display settings for Gnus ( http://ompldr.org/vaHo3dQ ).

Crossposting to gmane.discuss to see if the Gmane admins have an idea
about this.
