It seems this is a bug in ns-insert-working-text, and it's already
mentioned there in a FIXME comment:

;; FIXME: if buffer is read-only, don't try to insert anything
;;  and if text is bound to a command, execute that instead (Bug#1453)

The Gnus group and summary buffers are read only, so what we're dealing
here seems to be a duplicate of Bug #1453.
