This seems to have been fixed by the change in "No Gnus v0.11".

2008-06-14  Aidan Kehoe  <kehoea@parhasard.net>

        * gnus-util.el (gnus-put-display-table, gnus-get-display-table):
        New macros that expand to an `aset'/`aref' call under Emacs, and to a
        runtime choice under XEmacs.

And it's been fixed in the Gnus XEmacs package, too.  So you have
at least two choices:

1. Build and install "No Gnus v0.11" from the latest source that's
under development and can be found in:
        ftp://ftp.gnus.org/pub/gnus/snapshots/

2. Use the latest Gnus XEmacs package:
        ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs/packages/gnus-1.93-pkg.tar.gz
