To all on the list:

This turned out to be due to Gnus believing the method was something
like

(nnimap "")

when you did have

(nnimap "" (nnimap-address "foo"))

in your `gnus-secondary-select-method'.

As a workaround, edit the group info with `G E' in the group menu to
turn the first method into the latter.

It's known that creating groups with `G m' trigger this behaviour, I'm
looking into fixing it.
