Yet (Hello)/World is. (Per the newsgroup-name and wildmat-exact
productions given in section 9.8 of RFC 3977.)

I didn’t. The person who brought this issue to IRC has
apparently used something like (nnimap "imap.gmail.com") for
gnus-select-method.
Though indeed, I know of no reason /not/ to set
gnus-save-newsrc-file to nil in this case.
