I just did another update this morning and now the highlighting goes
away in Gnus buffers even faster than before (or I just got lucky with
what I was doing). I managed to reproduce it twice already this morning.
When this happens, I also notice that the highlighting is also broken in
*Help* buffers.

I think it was last week where I didn't observe this behavior at all.
Hard to say if I got lucky, or whether there was a good change a week
before that and a bad change this week. But it's what I observed.

Sorry, this is so sporadic that I haven't been able to generate a recipe
to reproduce it yet.
