I changed those lines to:
(when verify-hostname-error
(message "hostname error")
(push :hostname verify-error))
But there was no extra message in *Messages*.
But then I tried modifying the lambda in the (let* ... (verify-error
...)) expression in gnutls-negotiate to read
(lambda (check)
(when (string-match (car check) hostname)
(copy-sequence (cdr check))))
(I added the copy-sequence call), and now it seems to be working as it
should, so it looks like *something* in that function is modifying the
value.

For me, just setting the value of gnutls-verify-error to (("muchlearning\\.org"
(:trustfiles))
("news\\.gmane\\.org" nil
(:trustfiles :hostname))
(".*"
(:trustfiles :hostname))), and then accessing news.gmane.org in Gnus
via NNTP over TLS results in the value of gnutls-verify-error changing.
