It seems a call to process-status could be added to avoid the error. However, Gnus/nnimap is supposed to check whether the server is alive before attempting to use it, and that code call process-status. So a proper solution may be to track down what Gnus/nnimap operation it is that call the backend unconditionally, and fix that, then the server would be automatically re-opened as well. I can try to find to work on adding the process-status call in imap.el, to avoid the error, but depending on error propagation, it may not be sufficient. It will take a while, though, so if you or someone want to look into this, that would be appreciated... You might want to test with GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL too, tls.el might be more reliable.
