bug#35219: 27.0.50; Problems with nnimap groups with non-ASCII characters

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

This started showing up yesterday after recent changes in Gnus:

To reproduce: Create an nnimap group called "Tést".  Restarting Gnus
will properly create the group "Tést", but Gnus will also say

nnimap read 12k from quimby.gnus.org (initial sync of 3 groups; please wait)

If you then quit Gnus and restart Gnus, this group will appear:

       *: nnimap+quimby.gnus.org:T\351st

If you try to kill it, all the groups in the buffer will disappear.

So something went wrong during whatever the most recent group-related
changes were.  :-)
