Nothing out of the ordinary. Here is an snippet of Messages:

Checking new news...
nnimap read 0k from 127.0.0.1
Reading active file via nndraft...done
Checking new news...done
No news is good news

I tried. No error occurs when starting a new message or when trying to save as draft.

Draft directory is empty of text files, but does contain another 'drafts'
directory:

.emacs.d/gnus/
└── news
    └── drafts
        ├── drafts  <-- 
        └── queue

describe-variable nndraft-directory shows:

nndraft-directory is a variable defined in ‘nndraft.el’.

Its value is "/home/mkj/.emacs.d/gnus/news/drafts/"
