I'm trying to start using gnus and perhaps ran into a bug. I'm trying to
view the emacs-devel mailing list through gnus, for starters.

From emacs -q, built from the latest git master (commit
03e916beb0186f3707cd238650298870bf471575):

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nntp "gnus.user" (nntp-address "news.gmane.org")))

M-x gnus

A A (gnus-group-list-active)

C-s emacs.devel C-s

RET (gnus-group-select-group)

produces:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp (827 . 234690))
  symbol-name((827 . 234690))
  gnus-group-group-name()

  funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "toggle-debug-on-error" "toggle-debug-on-error")
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
  command-execute(execute-extended-command)
