No, `gnus-posting-styles' works on the actual group names, and doesn't
look into whether it's a "meta group" or not.  So if you want to use
posting styles with nnselect/nnvirtual, you have to adjust your posting
styles so that they work with the names of those groups.

So I think this works as designed, and I'm therefore closing this bug
report.
