Yes, since `gnus-summary-mode' is now a real mode, it clears local
variables before running the hook. The right place for that sort of hook
is now `gnus-summary-prepared-hook'. I tried to change all the relevant
hooks I could within the codebase, but I guess gnus-mdrtn.el isn't
publicly available? I can change the Moderation section of the manual to
update the installation instructions.

I'll take a look now.
