I use this and can see the groups created for the split-out mail
immediately:

     (setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)
        (setq nnmail-split-fancy
          '(| ("to" "internet-bob@bikelist\\.org" "iBOB")
              ("to" "rbw@bikelist\\.org" "Rivendell") 
              ("to" "port-mac68k@netbsd\\.org" "NetBSD") 
              ("to" "timmcn@bitstream\\.net" "Inbox")
               "mail.misc"))

One can of course split on the "from" header as well.  I wonder- do
you have the expression

     (setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)

in your .gnus?  Perhaps you're getting an odd effect from missing
that?
