Had the same problem. I consider this a bug, but good news is that it can 
easily be solved through a work-around.

Under "edit / edit news servers" there is a setting called "expire old 
articles". What it means, is that Pan will delete from its internal 
database all articles (headers included)  older than this.

The side effect is that if a group's newest article is older than your 
expiration limit, then Pan is left with an empty group, and seem unable 
to figure out whether or not this group was checked in the past.

My work-around: increase the expiration time in the news server's 
properties.
