I don't know - I never do that.  Just a minute [fiddles with files...]

So I went to the archive group in gnus, moved the message to nnml:temp
via 'B m', then clicked the planner link to that message.

The code called by the link eventually calls 

   (gnus-summary-goto-article article-id nil t)

where article-id is, in my case, the message-id.  Somehow, gnus found
that message and displayed it *in the archive group* (with an article ID
number of -1) even though it isn't in that group anymore and I don't
have gnus-registry enabled.  There lurk gnus mysteries.

Dunno whether that helps :-/
