I honestly never use Gnus unplugged so I may be misunderstanding
something, but AFAICT only agentized servers are supposed to
be affected by it (according to my brief usage and the manual).

I think I'd find this behavior surprising (and difficult to change) if I
encountered it as a new user, while the inconvenience of marking every
nnatom server as agentized seems pretty minor.
