I am convinced then.
Ideally, it would be nice to have tests, though I have no clue how to
approach writing them.

I'd say that the patch will be an improvement anyway.

I am not sure if it is safe.
There is
(save-window-excursion (gnus-summary-select-article))
which calls (set-buffer gnus-summary-buffer)

`with-current-buffer' will certainly alter how things work (although,
switching buffer when capturing link is already fishy).
