That your Gnus is normal was proved. :)

Probably, your ~/.gnus file is not read.  The "Startup Files"
section of the Gnus Info manual mentions as follows:

  Gnus will also check for files with the same names as these, but with
  `.elc' and `.el' suffixes.  In other words, if you have set
  `gnus-init-file' to `~/.gnus', it will look for `~/.gnus.elc',
  `~/.gnus.el', and finally `~/.gnus' (in this order).

That is, ~/.gnus suggests being ignored, if there's ~/.gnus.elc
or ~/.gnus.el.  How about that?
