I think it's because `gnus-no-server' activates groups at level 1 and
2, see the internal function `gnus-no-server-1':
,----[ <f1> f gnus-no-server-1 RET ]
| gnus-no-server-1 is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-start.el'.
| (gnus-no-server-1 &optional arg slave)
|
| Read network news.
| If arg is a positive number, Gnus will use that as the
| startup level. If arg is nil, Gnus will be started at level 2.
| If arg is non-nil and not a positive number, Gnus will
| prompt the user for the name of an NNTP server to use.
| As opposed to `gnus', this command will not connect to the local server.
`----
More precise, it should read "`gnus-level-default-subscribed' minus
one" instead of "2".

Probably not.
Bye, Reiner.
