I'm so so sorry about this stubborn bug... <sheepish grin>

Could you try this planner-gnus-browse-url? It cheats a little bit,
but it might behave now.

(defun planner-gnus-browse-url (url)
  "If this is a Gnus URL, jump to it."
  (when (string-match "^gnus://\\(.+\\)/\\(.+\\)" url)
    (let ((group (match-string 1 url))
          (article (match-string 2 url)))
      (gnus-fetch-group group)
      (or (gnus-summary-goto-article article)
          (when (fboundp 'gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles)
            (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles)
            (gnus-summary-goto-article article))
          (message "Message could not be found."))
      t)))

That's because gnus:// URLs weren't added to the regexp. After loading
planner-gnus, you have to close and reopen the plan page. Sorry!
