And this turns out to be the problem. I tried changing 
secondary-select-methods to this:


(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
       '(
         (nnimap "localhost"
                 ;;(nnimap-address "localhost")
                 ;;(nnimap-server-port 143)
                 (nnimap-address "i-dont-exist")
                 (nnimap-server-port 'random-nonsense)
                 ;; [...]
                 (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
                 (nnimap-split-methods
                  (("temp" "^Subject: split-into-temp")
                   ("INBOX" "")))
        (nnml ""
               (nnir-search-engine notmuch))))

And Gnus still works, still looks up the nnimap back end, still access 
the email
despite the clearly incorrect address and server port. It doesn't appear 
to be using
the information here at all. Confusing as it is using the nnml 
information.

I am now officially very confused.
