Note -- you can access bug reports directly if you have debbugs from
ELPA installed:

(require 'gnus-group)
(setq debug-on-error t)
(gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group 16577)

stack frames per nested element.

Hm...  it looks like it should be possible to replace `shr-generic' with
a macro, which should halve the number of stack frames.  I'll try doing
that...
