So, I tried to set up gnus-registry; I used the same settings Alan gave
and saw the same behavior: 

"The Gnus registry could not be loaded from ~/.gnus.registry.eioio,
creating a new one"

It seems the db is being created by gnus-registry-remake-db, but never
actually saved to the file. Pressing 's' in the *Group* buffer fixed
that (gnus-registry-save is hooked into gnus-save-newsrc-hook).

Should the docs mention explicitly that a new made db must be saved
either with M-x gnus-registry-save or 's' in the *Group* buffer?

Just quitting gnus seems to execute gnus-save-newsrc without the
optional force, the hook is not executed afaict and gnus-registry-save
is not called: gnus-registry-cache-file is not written to disk.

I hope that makes sense ...
