Hmm - it does check it: look at that `gnus-read-save-file-name' call.
The third arg FUNCTION is specified as `gnus-mail-save-name', defaulting
to the function `gnus-plain-save-name' - and that function uses
`gnus-article-save-directory's value.
If saving doesn't work for you, I have no idea why, I guess you have to
dig further or provide more information.
Michael.
