Problem with nnmail-split-methods

I'm having a problem with nnmail-split-methods in Gnus 5.9.0. It
doesnt split out my messages from the memcached mailing list. As far
as I can tell, all my other mailling list subscriptions split into the
correct folders properly.

It doesnt work even when I just have two entries in the nnmail-split-
methods list

(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(
("list.prog.memcached" "memcached@lists\.danga\.com")
("inbox" "")))

Here is the header for one message. It gets sorted into inbox, not
into list.prog.memcached

Why? Please?

That quoting doesn't look quite right; does
"memcached@lists\\.danga\\.com" work better?

What select method are you using? nnimap in particular uses a slightly
different variable (nnimap-split-methods).
