Rereading my older post and while searching the gnus-source code as well
as the internet for answers I found that the method is stripped from the
group name.  According to this thread from 2006
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/62775/focus=62934
this may well be the problem.

To me it seems like the call to (gnus-group-short-name group) leads to
my problem.  If I read the changelog correctly it was introduced in
revision 1.57, Fri Jan 9 03:01:51 2009 UTC:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/lisp/gnus/gnus-msg.el?root=emacs&r1=1.56&r2=1.57


Will I have to switch to nnfolder+archive for archiving my messages?
That would be a pity because I archive to a group which I also use to
receive (all) messages to.  Do you know of any way to still keep the
nnml:prefix?  The documentation says that I can do so:
http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_152.html#SEC152


Any help highly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Stefan

You hit. The format string crumbles and turns to dust.
