This happens with Gnus bundled with Emacs.  `gnus-setup-message'
is a macro that should be provided when compiling gnus-dired.el,
however I realized it is not loaded when compiling gnus-dired.el
along with Emacs (no problem when performing `make' on No Gnus).
I've fixed it in the Emacs trunk as follows:

--- gnus-dired.el       Mon Feb 23 06:58:34 2009

  (autoload 'gnus-print-buffer "gnus-sum")
  
  (defvar gnus-dired-mode nil
    "Minor mode for intersections of MIME mail composition and dired.")

Note: using `eval-when-compile' generates useless warnings.
