This is what I see, with nil as the default value of the option:

,----
| Hide Gnus Face Properties Alist:
| INS
|     State : STANDARD.
|    Alist....
| Groups: Gnus Article Headers
`----

And this is what I see, with the default value you gave originally:

,----
| Hide Gnus Face Properties Alist:
| INS DEL Image type: pbm
|             Plist:
|                         INS DEL Key: :face
|                         Value: gnus-x-face
|             INS
| INS DEL Image type: png
|             Plist:
|                         INS
| INS
|     State : STANDARD.
|    Alist....
| Groups: Gnus Article Headers
