| | Hm, the function in gnus-move-group-prefix-function does the job of
| | inserting the part to complete.  Here, if I want to move an article in
| | nnmaildir+Fastmail:INBOX.foo, it will use "nnmaildir+Fastmail:" as
| | default, which is nearly what you want (the mail/ is missing).
| | 
| | Do you have several nnimap servers, one unnamed, and want to move an
| | article from a group of the unnamed server?  That would explain the
| | behaviour you see.
| 
| As far as I know, I have only one:
| 
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
|       '((nnml "")
|         (nnimap "imap.uib.no"
|               (nnimap-stream ssl)
|               (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
|               )))
| 
| However, I may have screwed up something earlier that leaves traces
| somewhere.  

Update:  I threw .newsrc.eld out for a moment, and then the prompt in
question suddenly reads "nnimap+imap.uib.no:", a large improvement.
So there is something in the old history.  I might as well start over,
not that hard, it seems.
