C-h v gnus-newsgroups-headers doesn't work?  It's a buffer local
variable, so you need to evaluate if in *Summary nnimap+foo:bar* where
foo:bar is the group you're entering.  But it's a minor issue, try the
below instead.

I got your NOV file but I wasn't able to find any problems with it.
This is weird.  Can you (setq debug-on-error t), apply this patch, M-x
eval-buffer on gnus-sum.el and try to enter the group again?  When you
get the backtrace, change buffer to " *nntpd*", save it in a file and
point out were in the buffer the cursor was.

Thanks!
