It was embarrassing.

So it's pretty clear: `gnus-registry-initialize' in effect looks like
this:
(defun gnus-registry-initialize ()
(gnus-registry-install-hooks) -> (setq gnus-registry-enabled t)
(if (gnus-alive-p)
(gnus-registry-load)
(add-hook 'gnus-read-newsrc-el-hook #'gnus-registry-load)))
So in your case `gnus-registry-enabled' is set to t, but then
`gnus-registry-load' is never called (because Gnus is neither alive, nor
loaded later).
I suppose it's still reasonable to set `gnus-registry-enabled' in this
way -- the registry is, in fact, "enabled", it simply hasn't gotten
loaded (the naming problem again!). Perhaps the formatting functions
should go back to the earlier, more explicit check of `eieio-object-p'.
Bleagh.
