What was Lars' response when this was sent to gnus-bug?  He responds
to everything sent there.

            ^^^^^^^^^

That's a file which replicates the Gnus portion of custom-load.el
(generated at the same as auto-autoloads.el and for the same reason)
and is provided by Gnus for compatibility with older emacsen.

The symbol it's choking on (nnmail-duplicate) hasn't had it's property
setting changed since it was introduced (19.15-b98).

(symbol-plist 'nnmail-duplicate)
(group-documentation "Handling of duplicate mail messages."
 custom-group ((nnmail-message-id-cache-length custom-variable)
	       (nnmail-message-id-cache-file custom-variable)
	       (nnmail-treat-duplicates custom-variable))
 custom-loads ("nnmail"))
