I presume that your primary select method is nntp and your secondary
select method is nnimap:

Probably you are facing the same problem I had some time ago and which
caused a huge thread on the Gnus mailing list to find out the reason for
this "bug".

You could try 2 things:

1) Downgrade to 5.10.3 and check if it still happens when you update the
   group buffer by pressing "g" (rationale: the important changes which
   cause this behaviour were introduced in the release of 5.10.4)

2) If (1) fixes the problem you can upgrade again to the current
   version. Now check what type your nnimap groups are. If they are
   "foreign", unsubscribe and kill them. Then hit "A A" and start
   subscribing them again. They should now be "secondary" and everything
   should be fine again.
