Not that I'm aware of... Can you explicitly scan other groups with M-g
in the *Group* buffer?

Maybe try setting the nnimap-streaming server variable to nil?

Alternately, edebug the function `nnimap-retrieve-group-data-early' and
see if the "infos" argument contains all the groups it should? You could
also take a look at `nnimap-get-groups'?

Dunno...
