Just following up for completeness:

Hitting `n', hitting some invalid keys (such as cursor movement keys),
and hitting `C-g' in response to the

    Continue connecting? (No, Session only, Always) 

prompt, _all__ seem to result in the same behaviour. Gnus starts but
there is no connection made to the insecure server.

This seems to be a safe interpretation of `C-g', but its a bit
unexpected for invalid key presses.
