Please try this patch. If the problem persists, please show an NNTP
trace (might be a Gnus bug, its XOVER handling doesn't seem too robust).

One more question: are you running Gnus with suppression of duplicate
articles enabled? I do, so I may not see the "lots of" -- all those
place holders have a constant (though group-specific) Message-ID.

The last hunk of the patch is the most important one, without it, you
cannot request a pseudo article with XOVER n, for instance. Makes me
wonder where the others come from though...
