I've had the same annoyance. The attached patch is *not* a real solution
to the problem, as it still produces some weird windowing, and I have no
idea if it will wreck other uses of capture, but it does preserve gnus
windows so you can see the information you're trying to capture. It's at
least a pointer in the right direction…
