Evaluating the second form gives:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function article)
  (article ,(cond (gnus-use-trees '(vertical 1.0 (summary 0.25 point) (tree 
0.25) (horizontal 1.0 (article 1.0) (bbdb-gnus 0.4)))) (t '(vertical 1.0 
(summary 0.25 point) (horizontal 1.0 (article 1.0) (bbdb-gnus 0.4))))))
