One thing which I noticed is that the first time I enter a group,
the {nntp:news.sunsite.dk} server 'loses' its (agent) description
in the server buffer.

The first time I fire up Gnus in 'unplugged' mode, right after
Emacs has started, by typing `M-x gnus-unplugged', the server
buffer shows:

     {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
     {nntp:news.sunsite.dk} (offline) (agent)

When I leave the server buffer with `q', enter any nntp group,
leave the group with `q', and re-enter the server buffer with
`^', the server buffer shows:

     {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
     {nntp:news.sunsite.dk} (offline)

After this point, entering *any* group attempts to re-open the
connection to the {nntp:news.sunsite.dk} server, even though the
mode-line shows that Gnus is (Server Unplugged).
