They're kept completely separate. Reading an article on one server
does not cause the article to be marked as read on the other.

Right. Toggling the definition of gnus-select-method makes them less
separate than having one as the primary and the other as secondary or
foreign (or both secondary or foreign). I wouldn't be at all
surprised if toggling the definition of gnus-select-method made
something break, especially if the servers' article numbers aren't
synchronized.
