Got it: when `gnus-group-set-info' reaches:
(setcar (nthcdr 1 entry) info)
Ie, it actually does the setting of the info based on the dribble file,
that change is made in `gnus-newsrc-hashtb' but not `gnus-newsrc-alist'.
"g" uses the alist, "M-g" uses the hashtable. So that explains that.
I don't know why that happens, given that the entry in the hashtable and
the alist are identical lisp objects, or at least they are everywhere
else. But at least the solution is in sight!
