Really?  M-g very clearly exits the summary buffer for me.  Here is
exactly what happens when I use it from the summary buffer:

1) The mini-buffer at the bottom of the frame says "Expiring
articles..."

2) The summary buffer disappears and we are back in the group buffer.

3) Very briefly the mini-buffer flashes: "Retrieving newsgroup:
nnml:mail.misc" [this is my main inbox newsgroup]

4) The minibuffer queries how many articles.

Is this different from your behavior?

I am using the Gnus version that comes with Emacs 21.2.2 out of the
box, so it's not old.

Thanks again for the help,
