You saw this because Topic minor mode is not active, i.e. "Topic" is
shown not on the mode line.  After typing `t' (or M-x gnus-topic-mode
RET), you will see that the function bound to M-g claims to be
gnus-topic-get-new-news-this-topic, because now the Topic minor mode
is active, also you will see "Topic" on the mode line.

It is all because there is a Topic minor mode.
