Gnus wants to use the article number as the file name (to make sure
the file name is unique, and to know the order of the messages).  If
Gnus doesn't know the article number, it cries bloody murder...

But as those who have no need of a name said, this has been fixed in
Oort Gnus: that version tries to glean the article number from the
Xref header.
