Aha!

I traced the call sequence up and up to try to find out just how to get
at what the select method was, and it's not present in the nine layers
of calls down to where nnmail-split-history is set...

But!  gnus-command-method is bound!  The unique Gnus group name can be
trivially determined based on that.  I think.

I'll try hacking that up and see what happens...
