The autoinfo file has data for address@hidden and address@hidden, and the
user wants to setup his .gnus to connect to address@hidden and nothing
else (maybe he has another .gnus elsewhere configured to only connect
to address@hidden).

I'd expect a ":user nil" argument to work just like when there's
no :user keyword argument, so as long as the user doesn't set
nnimap-user the behavior should stay unchanged.

I'm not sure what you mean here. If I specify ":host foo.bar :user
titi" I would expect auto-source to ignore an entry for address@hidden
So either auto-source works differently than what I expect or you're
talking about another case of override.
