I am very grateful for your interest and testing!

I get this quite a bit. It occurs when `gnus-summary-buffer` in the main
thread gets usurped by a background thread. I am either allowing this
important variable to get reassigned before the dynamic-let in `gnus-thread-body`
or I am not understanding dynamic-let in the presence of threads.
Incidentally, it's very difficult to point to lines of code I'm talking
about without git{hub,lab}.

I'll look into this, and add a test for `nntp-open-server`.
I am happy to let this marinate to get people thinking about Gnus's future. There are many historical artifacts (like blocking `gnus-group-get-new-news`
and left-field variables like `gnus-secondary-select-methods`) that prevent
Gnus from becoming a viable MUA for more people.
Some other fellow recently posted about an ephemeral group branch which he
somehow got others to test for him in-parallel. I don't know how he did that
outside the debbugs system.
