I redefined eieio-persistent-validate/fix-slot-value as per
ffbb4e8d542df44ced5afd89221b0dfb234d8525 in Emacs 26.1, and
it did not solve this issue, still emitting:
| eieio-override-prin1: Apparently circular structure being printed
(and barring Gnus from exiting).
P. S.: The GNU Bug Tracker does not automatically send re-
plies to other participants, so you need to manually
"wide reply".
