Okay, that was only right by accident. The real problem was that the
code inside the iterate was setting the buffer to the message-mode
buffer. Then the calls to `gnus-summary-select-article' kept re-setting
to the summary-buffer, but always on the same article.

Anyway, would you test this patch and confirm it fixes the problem?
