What problem is this patch supposed to solve? Why the call of
bbdb-auto-notes? I am not a Gnus expert. Yet it appears to me that
something is not working the way it is supposed to. There should be
no need to define such a function.

It should be sufficient to call

(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message)

plus possibly customizing bbdb-mua-auto-update-p.
(See the README file.)
