I think I found the problem:

in planner-gnus-annotation-from-message and -summary this mechanism is employed:
,----
| (concat "E-Mail "
|                  (if (and planner-ignored-from-addresses
|                           (string-match
|                            planner-ignored-from-addresses from))
|                      (concat "to " (planner-get-name-from-address
|                                     (planner-gnus-get-address "To")))
|                    (concat "from " (planner-get-name-from-address
|                                     from)))))))))
`----

This seems to work properly as long as planner-ignored-from-addresses is nil!
I found out that in my setup is was "" (empty string) -- I never set this one
consciously, could it be that customize did this? 

If planner-ignored-from-addresses is "" then Planner always looks for the To
field, which aren't present in newsgroups etc.

Setting planner-ignored-from-addresses to nil seems to solve the
problem. I'll test some more.

Thanks again for your help!
