file-name should be an alias of utf-8, not of binary. Looks like Gnus is
trashing it, or the related variable file-name-coding-system, but a quick
grep doesn't point me to where--it's always bound, not set. 

Can you do a M-x gnus-bug RET, and CC xemacs-beta? The version info there
would seem to be relevant.
