The example in the OP is about nnmaildir.
I don't think the details are relevant, but it happens to be being
synced from imap by an external process. For example, a maildir file
might change name from "stuff:2,S" to "stuff:2,RS" if you reply to the
message via an imap client. Or it could have been moved to a different
folder, or deleted altogether. It's not obvious to me what Gnus could do
in this situation.
I imagine you could reproduce it by visiting a Maildir with Gnus, then
renaming one of the files externally.
I imagine none of the Gnus backends (except imap) are prepared for files
to be renamed by other processes while Gnus is running?
