Weird, I wonder what the difference is supposed to be. On my
installation, anyway, with three unread messages in "gmane.emacs.help",
gnus-group-unread returns 3, and gnus-number-of-unseen-articles-in-group
returns 0. Strange.

Also, if you use topics, the easiest way to get the full number of
unread messages would probably be to run gnus-topic-unread on the
top-level topic.
