It does respect it, AFAICT.

I agree.  I don't think it is sensible to do anything beyond cleanup
when catching the C-g.  After all, choosing a million articles at the
prompt and hitting C-g while Gnus is thrashing doesn't move point
either.

I'll push a fix into No Gnus.  In case anyone is attached to the old
behavior: Entering 0 instead of C-g at the prompt will still move point.
