Of course, I found and reported all of this right before the lexbind
merge. Argh.
I took your mapcar version and used it. Everything works now, and will
work in older Emacs versions too.

When I use the explicit constructor (commented out right now), many
tests fail. Do you want to take a look at that? It's the only
remaining merge blocker.
My changes are in the new "tzz-gnus-registry-rewrite" branch. I won't
merge it until we're sure it works in Emacs 23 and 24. I'll write the
manual changes and ChangeLog at that time too.

I would assume major versions introduce binary incompatibilities, so I
wouldn't worry about that.
