Right, so Gnus is doing something special to unsuppress the article.
It can do this because it was Gnus that marked it unread.  It can't do
it as simply in the case we're discussing (it was a different client
that marked it unread, remember).  I'm beginning to think that we're
stuck with the present behaviour :-(

Yes, that wasn't in dispute.  As I said, 3 out of the 4 cases work
correctly, only unmark-in-other-and-read-in-Gnus doesn't work.
