Did you get any further on this?

I've finally found a single message in Gnus where I can reproduce this
almost 100% of the time -- but only on this display, so it's probably
closely tied to the exact geometry of the Emacs frame.

But if you have debugging instructions, since I can now reproduce this,
I can hopefully give you the output you need to fix this...
