Yup, looks like that's the problem. After the first time you save Gnus,
`gnus-newsrc-alist' has been redefined to exclude "dummy.group". It
should be easy to fix -- I'll move the sorting and exclusion into the
`let', which will preserve the variable's original value.

I suppose the Emacs 28 ship has sailed? It would be nice to include this
fix in the release.
