Try "echo -e H \\nq | cat -vte" so you can see what you're really
sending to ed.

The problem is shown here, and my Gnus displays it for me, because I
have this in my .emacs:
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(defface prj:tws-face  '((t (:background "yellow"))) "")
(font-lock-add-keywords 'message-mode
                        '(("\\([ \t]+\\)$" 1 prj:tws-face prepend)))

(Doing the same for gnus-article-mode doesn't seem to work, though. :(
)

You're sending different input here.
