No, it isn't a Gnus bug, I believe.  The `gnus-summary-subject-string'
macro was designed to be used in the summary buffer.  So finalpatch's
solution looks correct.

Since the patch makes it search for the subject in the whole
article body, it might misfetch it if the header doesn't have
the subject but there is the one that looks like the subject in
the body.  A better way will be:

--- org-gnus.el~	2009-06-05 10:01:51 +0000
+++ org-gnus.el	2009-06-05 10:01:26 +0000

 	   (x-no-archive (mail-header 'x-no-archive header))
 	   (subject (if (eq major-mode 'gnus-article-mode)
-			(message-fetch-field "subject")

 		      (gnus-summary-subject-string)))
 	   desc link)
       (org-store-link-props :type "gnus" :from from :subject subject

Not tested, because I've never used the org-mode.
