This looks like a Gnus buglet to me.  I think the reason you should
compile Gnus is that it can be horribly slow uncompiled.  But that is
the gnus _package_, not the gnus _function_.

So the test needs to see past the defadvise.  Something like this, I
guess - though I don't know defadvise so I'm not sure:

(defconst gnus-is-compiled)             ;declare constant before use
(defun gnus (...)
  ...
  (unless gnus-is-compiled
    (message "You should byte-compile Gnus")
  ...))
(defconst gnus-is-compiled (byte-code-function-p (symbol-function 'gnus)))
