I was fairly certain that, in my original message, I demonstrated an error in XEmacs's implementation of derived.el that should be fixed regardless of what Gnus is doing. In other words, using a different version of Gnus might cause the problem to not surface, but it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be fixed. (A simple way of fixing it is presented in the message.) Am I mistaken here?
