Well - I see the same.  After a failed sending attempt there seems to be
a modified message buffer, and when exiting Gnus that buffer seems to be
saved as a new draft each time.  Toggling `version-control' doesn't make
a difference.

Has anybody actually tried to reproduce???  I just used an address like
"test" and tried to send.

Doesn't look like numbered backups.  Looks like normal files
corresponding to the draft copies one sees in Gnus.
