Theoretically yes, if you actively and malignantly kill the summary 
buffer, for example.  In practice and through Gnus key bindings, this
should not happen.  IOW, Gnus stops behaving reasonably as well if you
kill the summary buffer other than through Gnus key bindings ("Selecting 
deleted buffer", etc.).

If you check function `gnus-summary-work-articles' from gnus-sum.el, the
main work horse for article processing and also good for calling in
article buffers, you will note (focusing on the default case) the same
paradigm

  (with-current-buffer gnus-summary-buffer
    (cond
     [...]
     (t
      ;; Just return the current article.
      (list (gnus-summary-article-number))))))

As a last resort we could also try to drag in Andrew Cohen as a
reviewer, he has been helpful already with one or two of my Gnus bugs.
