Yeah, my drafts directory also contain those subdirectories, I was
confused by the contents of drafts/drafts (which must be empty if you
don't have any ongoing drafts.)

The value of nndraft-directory is non-standard, so your install must
have at least one of gnus-home-directory, gnus-directory or the SAVEDIR
environment variable set. What's your full gnus config? And on which
file are those settings? (Please note that .gnus.el is not the right one
for the variables mentioned above.)

Really, the best way to address this issue is to step through the draft
creation code with the debugger, but not all users are eager to
experience such level of excitement.
