I've seen this problem as well, and I agree it's confusing. An UNTESTED fix:
(defun gnus-dd-mmm (messy-date)
"Return a string like DD-MMM from a big messy string."
(condition-case ()
(format-time-string "%d-%b" (date-to-time messy-date))
(error " - ")))
The version of this function in Gnus 5.8.7 calls `safe-date-to-time', which
returns a zero-date if the string is unparseable.
Insinuating this function into your setup is left as an exercise for the
reader.
Eric.
