Perhaps something like the following (totally untested):

    (defun gnus-user-format-function-G (arg)
      (replace-regexp-in-string
      "\\[Gmail\\]"
      ""
       gnus-tmp-group))
    (setq gnus-group-line-format "%M%S%p%P%5y: %(%uG%)%l %6,6~(cut 2)d\n")

Note the use of %uG (see C-h v gnus-group-line-format).
