Hm...  'nil and nil are the same.

Oh, I see.  I think the problem is that that :match is just wrong.
Changing the order of the values (as this patch does) also makes the
problem go away, but I think the right fix here is to fix the :match.

So I've installed the following patch instead:

diff --git a/lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el b/lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el
index b5d744843f..f21bc7584e 100644
