I'm sure its a Gnus issue, but I'm no longer sure it's duplicate
suppression.  I just set debug-on-entry for
gnus-summary-clear-mark-forward and stepped through it.  Sure enough
it calls gnus-dup-unsuppress-article which appears to do what you
want.  Sure enough, when I do M-u on articles, they are not getting
marked as duplicates in subsequent Gnus sessions, either in nnml or
nnimap groups.  I don't know why its not working right for you.
