The problem has gone after rebuilding Gnus.  Oops!  I guess what
caused it was Gnus, the `article-update-date-lapsed' function
that runs with the 1-sec timer.  But it seems to have been fixed
thanks to Lars a moment ago:

 * gnus-art.el (article-update-date-lapsed): Try to avoid having point
 move around by not using save-window-excursion.  It seems to work...

Sorry for the noise.
