We're on a Gnus mailing list, which by definition is where the crazies
congregate (Have you seen normal email clients/MUAs, recently?).  You're not
out of the ordinary, here. :-)

And no, I have no idea of the bug or the resolution.

repeat by:

(setq
  gnus-build-sparse-threads 'more
  gnus-thread-hide-subtree t
)

(which is my preferred view)

kill a (folded) thread ahead of a thread that is missing a base
article, so it's sparse.  your cursor will end up at the far right,
instead of on the left.

now kill *that* thread.  BOOM, you get shoved to the end of the buffer
and the error message above.

Before, you'd just get shoved into some weird buffer state that a ^A
would fix.  But at least you wouldn't lose context.

I was finally able to reproduce the bug, and it's now fixed in Ma Gnus
(and in the Emacs trunk soon).
