Actually, it is quite simple:

If there are more articles (read or unread) in the group than is
presently shown on the menu, the G command will give you the menu,
and you can choose whether you want to include some more articles or
search for a subject.

If there are no extra articles in the group, the only choice you would
have on the menu is to search for a subject, so that is what it
assumes you are going to do.  So it skips the menu, and goes directly
to the "enter subject" prompt (the = sign).

The only other purpose for which you might want the menu to appear to
be able to DECREASE the number of articles on the menu.  However, that
is not possible, so what would you use the menu for?
