1. emacs -Q
2. C-h i m gnus RET
3. Click with mouse-1 (or mouse-2) on any of the links under "Other
   related manuals", i.e. Message, Emacs-MIME, Sieve, PGG, SASL: nothing
   happens.

Typing 'RET' on any of these links, in contrast, DTRT, i.e. goes to the
respective node.  Clicking mouse-1 on any of the other links also DTRT.
The following patch fixes the problem for me:
