I can't reproduce this. `gnus-list-of-unread-articles' has been
changed since Gnus 5.9 (which is quite old). Currently, the end of
`gnus-list-of-unread-articles' reads:
;; And add the last unread articles.
(while (<= first last)
(setq unread (cons first unread)
first (1+ first)))
;; Return the list of unread articles.
(delq 0 (nreverse unread))))
If you can reproduce it with a current Gnus version, please report it
as a bug.

"guess" sometimes fails, e.g. if the first message is a multipart MIME
message.

I'd use topics mode an move the group to a collapsed topic.
Bye, Reiner.
