The empty string is the key, I think.

Yes.

I did

(maphash (lambda (key value) (message "%S\n\n" (list key value)))
         (oref gnus-registry-db data))

and nearly all entries have a lot of quotes.  I starts with entries with
81 quotes, and then the number of quotes seems to decrease slowly.  The
last entries printed only have one quote.  I guess there is a quote
added for every save or so.

But I only have one entry with the empty string as key.

Yes, it's horribly broken...
