I tested this and it also shows the wrong font, so it's definitely not a
Gnus issue.

When I tested this earlier I looked at a cperl-mode buffer and it didn't
look like it was using the proportional font.  I checked again now and I
had simply not scrolled down enough to see a face that was affected by
this bug.
