While I haven't customized that specific face, with others I have
found that you need to create a temporary face, and then assign that
face to the gnus variable:

,----
| (make-face 'my-gnus-summary-selected)
| (custom-set-faces
|  '(my-gnus-summary-selected ((t (:background "#444444")))))
| (setq
|  gnus-summary-selected-face 'my-gnus-summary-selected)
`----

I may be doing things the hard way, but it does work.
