Finding a recipe is not easy because I have to find the offending pieces
in my setup.  I tried M-x debug-on-entry hl-line-maybe-unhighlight,
also edebug, but the error magically disappeared.

But I found that I had concealed a related setting in my .emacs:

  (setq-default hl-line-sticky-flag nil)

If you still can't reproduce with that, I will probably have to create a
new user on my system to be able to bisect my setup without messing up
my Gnus.


Regards,

Michael.
