I can confirm this.

I haven't tried to read/understand the code, but in the Group buffer,
neither 'g' nor 'C-u g' does what 'M-g' does inside the Summary buffer
of an IMAP group.  And I would have expected that 'C-u g' in Group
buffer fits the bill:

,----[ C-h f gnus-group-get-new-news RET ]
| gnus-group-get-new-news is an autoloaded interactive subr-native-elisp
| in ‘gnus-group.el’.
| 
| (gnus-group-get-new-news &optional ARG ONE-LEVEL)
| 
| Get newly arrived articles.
| If ARG is a number, it specifies which levels you are interested in
| re-scanning.  If ARG is non-nil and not a number, this will force
| "hard" re-reading of the active files from all servers.
| If ONE-LEVEL is not nil, then re-scan only the specified level,
| otherwise all levels below ARG will be scanned too.

Hopefully Eric can shed some light on this.
