Looks like the 'd' has been there at least since 1997; gnus-start.el:

    eec82323c2e3 (Lars Ingebrigtsen 1997-04-16 2768)      (setq buffer-file-name
    eec82323c2e3 (Lars Ingebrigtsen 1997-04-16 2769)            (concat 
gnus-current-startup-file ".eld"))

and before that; gnus.el:

    aa088210dd (Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen 1997-03-04 01:26:40 +0000 9645)        
(write-region 1 (point-max) 
    aa088210dd (Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen 1997-03-04 01:26:40 +0000 9646)         
             (concat gnus-current-startup-file ".eld") 
    aa088210dd (Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen 1997-03-04 01:26:40 +0000 9647)         
             nil 'nomesg))

which is as far back the git repository I had lying around seems to
go:

    commit aa088210dd9c90f00466b59c58f60f14b4544e69 (HEAD, tag: v0-5)
