I haven't used Gnus 5.9 since ages, but I guess it should not show this problem (unless you use standard-display-european). Could you upgrade to Gnus 5.10.8 or upgrade to CVS Emacs (some distributions offer it as emacs-snapshot or similar) which includes a more recent Gnus version and see it the problem persists? Else, can you send me one of the problematic mails as gzipped attachment (secret stuff x-ed out)? If the problem also appears in news or mailing list article you could simply give us the Message-Id or the URL to an mbox file if available.
