I looked some more into it and it comes down to whether or not the
component groups see a `nov-is-evil' during their initial header
retrieval. If they do, the overview files for the agent include the
necessary information and the cache appears to used as well. However, I
don't see a way to set `nntp-nov-is-evil' for a group in a way that
would still be true when it is part of a virtual group.
As an experiment, I globally set `nntp-nov-is-evil' to `t' and disabled
the agent to see if it even works. I ran into a lot of problems where
Gnus lost track of the unread messages for simple NNTP groups. Is this
expected or is this potentially a bug?
