A radical suggestion: did you ever consider looking at the source and finding and even maybe fixing the "bug"? It sounds as if they put in the old vnews algorithm for skipping multiple ng postings, only showing it to you in the first ng to which you subscribe. If you specifically specify (a single?) newsgroup on the command line you'll get all postings-- this works well with the -p option into a file. If it really didn't show you the article at all when you specified both of the groups it was contained in, then that does sound wrong. However, we do not have or run 2.10.2 so the above is strictly a surmise.
