As an update on this issue, this fix has worked temporarily for me, and
I continued to experience hangs for a while.  Today, I tried
de-agentizing nntp:gmane, which seemed to fix the issue for now, tho IDK
if this will be temporary too.  I wanted to ask if anybody has similar
issues to mine, because I believe we're looking at a bug with gnus-agent
here, and when I'll have some spare time will try my hand at debugging
this.
