Okay, dang it, here we go. Having thought about it, it seems like the
solutions might be simpler than I thought. `gnus-registry-initialize'
looks like this:

(defun gnus-registry-initialize ()
  "Initialize the Gnus registry."
  (interactive)
  (gnus-message 5 "Initializing the registry")
  (gnus-registry-install-hooks) => sets gnus-registry-enabled = t
  (gnus-registry-install-shortcuts)
  (if (gnus-alive-p)
      (gnus-registry-load)
    (add-hook 'gnus-read-newsrc-el-hook #'gnus-registry-load)))

It makes no sense to set `gnus-registry-enabled' to t when we haven't
fully loaded the registry. How about we move
`gnus-registry-install-hooks' and `gnus-registry-install-shortcuts' into
`gnus-registry-load', after the actual loading, a la the attached patch?
Does this solve the problems you're seeing?
