This was due to a recent change -- whenever a group changed level, it
would put a nil onto gnus-newsrc-alist, thereby making it invalid.

I've now pushed a fix for this to both emacs-27 and the trunk.

Geez!  I didn't see that problem -- I just got some extra nil entries at
the start of the gnus-newsrc-alist variable.  I hope there's a backup of
the file...
