It's not a bug in describe-key, because that's apparently not the
command run by `C-h k' in Gnus article buffers:

  C-h k runs the command gnus-article-describe-key, which is an
  interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-art.el'.

  It is bound to C-h k.

Indeed, doing `M-x describe-key' instead of `C-h k' returns
gnus-article-read-summary-keys, as expected.  Dunno what the purpose of
gnus-article-describe-key is.

Bouncing back to the Gnus developers.
