I'm on git revision 568af1e5822086f2457b6e98a22624b8138aa72f.

emacs -q
(require 'gnus-group)
M-x gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group RET 34671 RET

is enough to trigger this. I can't reproduce with your recipe, although
if I do "q" (quit gnus) "y" (confirm quitting) in between your steps 2
and 3 then I can trigger it. As I said in another thread, I'm just
getting started using gnus. Is gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group not
supposed to work if gnus isn't open?
