I tried to reproduce this by putting in a wrong password in .authinfo
for news.eternal-september.org and starting Gnus.  I got:

nntp (news.eternal-september.org) open error: ‘481 Invalid credentials ’.  Continue? (y or n) y

Hitting `y' then made Gnus continue (but saying that it's ignoring this
server).

So I'm unable to reproduce this problem.  Does (setq debug-on-error t)
give you a backtrace?
