Yes, I think so... but isn't there error handling in gnus-request-scan?
I really thought there was...

That sounds like a bug. :-) If I push, for instance
(nntp "localhost")
to gnus-secondary-select-methods and hit g, I get an error message and
then the server is marked as "denied", but Gnus carries on its merry
way. (Same if something times out or I hit `C-g' while it's connecting.)
