Hi Tassilo

I've not changed the tramp filename regexp from its default. However,
while I've got the same emacs version as you, my gnus version says No
Gnus v0.4". I'm guessing your running Debian unstable? I'm actually
running Debian Testing with the emacs-snapshot from unstable. That
probably explains the differences. 

If its working for you, I won't bother with a bug report as it has
probably been dealt with. 

Actually, now that I think about it, I did an upgrade today to the
newest emacs-snapshot. I'll have to check to see if the issue has been
resolved since. 

Tim
