No, the group wasn't empty.  But the items in it were all newer than the
items that I was sending to it...

Server-side, sometimes.  Of course, if I remove the Gnus uidvalidity and
don't restore it until moving all the emails, then Gnus won't complain.

>> 3) Why does moving e-mails in this way not update uidvalidity?

Yes - I was referring to the Gnus side.

I see.  It appears that my server has its uidvalidity related to the
oldest article in the folder.

Thanks for your help:)
