I can wait on gnus fixes, since I've got both 23.3.3 and 24.1 configured
to switch easily.  For most packages, I prefer to live on the official
releases rather than keep track of all the little updates.  

It might be interesting to look at a more general fix that would manage
all kinds of parsing failures in the body view.  I've had some failures
with attached .ics files that result in the same kind of problem.  Most
of the viewing commands end up not working, but since "q" works that's
usually not a problem.  The problem seems to trigger when a mail
component that the viewer expects to display fails during parsing for
display.
