Hi,

using an alist in `gnus-group-jump-to-group-prompt' stopped working
for me after updating from Emacs 23.3 to current Emacs trunk (most
probably also in Emacs 24 (pretest)).

Recipe:

  $ emacs -Q

  Eval: (setq gnus-group-jump-to-group-prompt '((22 "gmane.")))

  Type: - M-x gnus-no-server RET
        - 22 j

Debugger:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
   completing-read-default("Group: " ("nntp+news.gwene.org:gwene.ca.alumnit.apenwarr.log" ...) nil nil ("gmane.") gnus-group-history nil nil)

      gnus-group-jump-to-group-prompt) gnus-group-jump-to-group-prompt) (let

M-x vc-annotate RET of lisp/gnus-group.el in Gnus (git) suggests that
revision a07fef39 (by Julien Danjou in Gnus (git)) might be the
culprit (but it is not possible to just revert this change to confirm
this).
