You mean in `gnus-get-unread-articles', around `gnus-request-scan'? No,
there doesn't seem to be.
In other places where `gnus-request-scan' is called, the code is mostly
working with a single group, in which case you could argue that errors
should just bubble up to the user.

I've got my nntp server set in `gnus-select-method', maybe that's why?
This has annoyed me off and on for years but I've never taken the time
to look into it. My other servers are all localhost nnimap and I never
see errors there. I just set debug-on-message appropriately, and will
figure out exactly where things are going off.
