There is indeed a problem with this configuration...
Here's some mail I received to clarify this...

I believe there's a problem in the XOVER sources in Felix Lees GNUS
addon..
In particular... when using his nntp.el gnus-Article-mode-hook is
defined because gnus-article-prepare-hook is _not_ seen to be bound
to anything. Why? I'm running GNUS4.1
You're right. The problem is nntp.el is being (require ed by gnus
before the defvar for gnus-article-prepare-hook in gnus.el gets run.
This fools nntp-xover.el into thinking it needs to add to
gnus-Article-prepare-hook, which then fools bbdb.
I never noticed this because I haven't been using bbdb with gnus, and
the only thing nntp is doing to that hook is adding a function to load
Xrefs from the article in case your NOV database doesn't have xref
data, and all the servers I use gnus with have xref in the database.
The easiest solution is to add
(defvar gnus-article-prepare-hook nil "screwup")
to your .emacs ahead of any references to gnus. Once I did this, nntp
binds to the right hook, and bbdb isn't fooled.
The correct solution may be to move the require in gnus below the
defvar.

Rather those do any of that I chose to do this instead.
Simply change... the following in the XOVER nntp.el (byte-compile)
(nntp/add-hook
(if (boundp 'gnus-article-prepare-hook)
'gnus-article-prepare-hook
'gnus-Article-prepare-hook)
'nntp/article-get-xrefs)
TO
(nntp/add-hook
(if (boundp 'gnus-Article-prepare-hook)
'gnus-Article-prepare-hook
'gnus-article-prepare-hook)
'nntp/article-get-xrefs)
That fixes the problem.
