That didn't contain '(5 258 nnimap)'. Do you get the same error every
time? Does restarting Emacs help?

Hm. It might be a corrupt NOV line. When you get the error, could you
mail me the content of " *nntpd*" buffer?

Strange. Try editing it to

("nnimap+kraken:mail/ZIn.ding" 2
 ((1 . 5))
 nil
 "nnimap:kraken"
 nil)

but I think the problem is due to corrupt NOV lines -- otherwise your
group parameters should have listed '(5 258 nnimap)' somewhere.
