Hm, the function in gnus-move-group-prefix-function does the job of
inserting the part to complete.  Here, if I want to move an article in
nnmaildir+Fastmail:INBOX.foo, it will use "nnmaildir+Fastmail:" as
default, which is nearly what you want (the mail/ is missing).

Do you have several nnimap servers, one unnamed, and want to move an
article from a group of the unnamed server?  That would explain the
behaviour you see.
