Could you attach some debug spews from *nnimap-debug*?  I think Gnus
hand over a distorted select method to nnimap, containing the virtual
server name as the server hostname.

Try this patch against gnus. It's not a proper patch, it's
`gnus-server-extend-method' that's buggy but I can't figure out what
the heck that function is good for (hence hard to debug) so this just
removes the call to it. Don't forget to recompile all of Gnus.
