I found two troublespots:

1. I think you don't use a vanilla Gnus.

   In my copy of Gnus 5.4.37, gnus-kill-all-overlays is implemented as 
   follows:

   (defun gnus-kill-all-overlays ()
  "Delete all overlays in the current buffer."
  (when (fboundp 'overlay-lists)
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  [...]

   In the b10-distribution I find it defined like this:

   (defun gnus-kill-all-overlays ()
  "Delete all overlays in the current buffer."
  (unless gnus-xemacs
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  [...]


   If I redefine the funcion like this, my "external" Gnus starts
   working, so it isn't surprising that you don't see the problem.

2. Executing (overlay-lists) [in a buffer without overlays, I guess]
   returns "(nil nil)", in GNU Emacs it returns "(nil)".
